You Don't Have to be Famous to have Manic Depression: an A-Z guide to Mental Health by Jeremy Hughes and Tony Hughes

An excellent insight into manic depression. Thomas and Hughes' book begins with a series of recorded conversations between therapist (Hughes) and manic depressive patient (Thomas) discussing aspects of disease, treatment and social attitudes. This is followed by a series of anecdotal accounts in which people with manic depression speak about their experiences, and ended with an extensive detailed and useful A to Z combining useful glossary of terms and resources.
