I'm looking for suggestions on what to read next. I'm looking for some mental health-related memoir type book. Something like "Loose Girl" and "Prozac Nation" and "Girl Interrupted."
Anyone got any ideas?

Looking for book suggestions
I'll be finished reading "Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity" by Kerry Cohen pretty soon.

Augusten Burroughs' books are good. Mary Karr has some good ones. I draw a lot of strength from Anne LaMott's non fiction.
i totally agree on Agustun Burrogh
h's books, also David Sadaris, very good, any of Atul Gawande Gawande , MD's books ?, they are very well written, not you typical "doctor" books" .......Oh, so many! "The Bucolcolic Plague" By The Fabioloulous Beekman Boys (they have a wonderful tv show on Planut Green)....anything by by Jasmina Khadra....or David Dow......
Have you tried Kay Redfield Jamison? She has some great books.
You've probably already read this but Get Me Out Of Here by Rachel Reiland is a good one about dealing with BPD.
"Amen, Amen, Amen", about OCD is very good, i'm reading right now.
"Rolling Away My Agony With Ecstasy", by Lynn Marie Smith, sooo good (and the cover pic is very cool!), "Voluntary Madness", by Norah Vincent, annnnd, one of my VERY favorites, "Mount Misery", by Samuel Shem. (about Psychiatric Residents, but really pays atention to the patients), it's the sequel to "House of G-d".
Wow, thanks guys for all the suggestions. I have read "Get Me Out Of Here," but the rest are fair game. I've got a lot of book research/shopping to do now
