I enjoy reading memoirs.
I even like fiction that is written in the form of a memoir.

mem·oir (mmwär, -wôr)
  n. Abbr. mem.

             1.An account of the personal experiences of an author.
             2.Often memoirs. An autobiography.
             3.A biography or biographical sketch.
 

Here are some memoirs that relate to psychological topics (well, I guess all memoirs do,
but these are about a specific illness)

The links will take you to Amazon.com where you can purchase the books at a discount.  You can also check your library or local bookseller.
 

Just Checking - memoir of a woman with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Stick Figure - memoir of an 11 year old with anorexia nervosa

An Unquiet Mind - memoir of a woman with Bipolar Disorder aka Manic Depression
 

Do you know other memoirs that I should read and perhaps recommend
