book recommendation - bipolar/ manic depression

Hi all,
I just wanted to mention a book I read earlier this summer, "An Unquiet Mind" by Kay Redfield Jamison. She is a psychology professor and also suffers with bipolar disorder. The book is a memoir of her struggle with this disorder from suicide attempts to psychotic episodes to becoming the head of the psychology department at her university... pretty interesting book and uplifting too in that she offers a lot of hope for people struggling with this illness. I hope it's a good read for others.
Lisa
