Bipolar books

Hi all,

I've suffered with bipolar symptoms for many years, in fact as long as I can remember. I had an extreme drinking problem due to this about 6 years ago but managed to get through that. I was on fluoxetine then for about 6 months but came off it as I enjoyed being really productive in my highs.

I've recently hit another all time low, and after some discussion in the depression forum, decided to seek medical help. I'm approaching 40 and I just don't want to go on with such massive mood swings.

I know very little about the condition as I always tried to block it out of my mind. Can anyone suggest any good books on it that I can begin to educate myself with (preferably nook or kindle)

I have read most of what Julie Fast has written. She is Bipolar, so she is living what she writes.
