> pcThanks pc. I was thinking about reading the Kay Jamison book. I'll make it a definite now. I read "The Bell Jar" many, many years ago when I was a teenager. It was excellent but I think a little too depressing for me right now. I should read it again sometime when I'm feeling better though as I'm sure I would get so much more out of it as an older (and wiser?) person.
