> "A Backward Glance" by Edith Wharton. Not directly related to mood disorders, but a very charming memoir by a very powerful woman. When I read it, I was most impressed by how kind she was to everyone she wrote of. (And some funny stories about Henry James, too.)
Thanks, Racer. I read something else by Edith Wharton that I really liked but I can't think of it right now. Very powerful woman stories are always inspiring so I'll definitely check this one out.
> Fawn Brody's bios of Jefferson and Joseph Smith were awfully good, too, with mentions of bipolar like behavior in Jefferson.I didn't know that about Jefferson. I had read that Lincoln had a lot of trouble with depression particularly after losing a child. I'd like to read a book about him as well.
