Books are an invaluable source of information. When it comes to mental health, they can be a great resource in helping you understand what you are going through. Following is a list of some of the top-selling books on various mental illnesses. I have not read all of them and I do not endorse any of them. I am simply going by what the most popular titles in the field are. I recommend reading reviews before purchasing a book, as that will give you a better idea of the content. The list is not comprehensive in any way. I hope you find something useful!
