I'm not sure if these are necessarily *good* suggestions, but here are some books I've read when I was coming back up from a down place:

_The Chemistry of Conscious States_, J. Allan Hobson
_Girl, Interrupted_, Susanna Kaysen (I have a print of the Vermeer painting "Girl Interrupted at Her Music" - http://www.vincent.nl/?/gallery/paintings/a585.htm
_Moments of Engagement_, Peter Kramer
_Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut_, P.J. O'Rourke
_The Emotional Brain_, Joseph LeDoux
_Hannibal_, Thomas Harris

My mom gave me a book that I haven't read yet but that seems promising:

_Transforming Madness_, Jay Neugeboren

Oh yeah, a couple of things *not* to read:

"No Exit" (play), Jean-Paul Sartre (reminds me of bad group therapy)
_Mount Misery_, Samuel Shem
anything by Peter Breggin (actually, just don't read anything by him in general!)
