The other book I couldn’t put down is The Noonday Demon by Andrew Solomon. It provided me with new insights in its comprehensive look at depression.

I’ll definitely add your suggestions to my TBR list.

I’ll have to check it out, especially as I’m a fan of Trigger books.

Congratulations on your book!

I’m a little biased but I’d have to say one of my favorite books is “Birth of a New Brain–Healing from Postpartum Bipolar Disorder.” (I wrote it! 😉 It has received very kind Amazon UK reviews from your fellow Trigger authors Ali Douglas and Karen Manton.

I also found the late Sally Brampton’s book “Shoot the Damn Dog” (which I read years before her suicide) to be very helpful. I started reading “Brain Over Binge” and would like to complete that book very much.

Great list!

I don’t enjoy talking to strangers, so having a book to use as a shield when someone tries to start up a conversation is perfect. I can just cover my face and ignore the shit out of them. […]

I will definitely share your post with my readers. Mental illness is very misunderstood by those who don’t suffer from it unless you see it everyday. Thank you for this post!
