Anneinside> The main textbook is Manic Depressive Illness by Frederick Goodwin and Kay Redfield Jamison. It's expensive - get it used. Also make sure you get the 2007 (2nd) edition.

Greylove>I developed TD from Risperidol and was told it was not a side effect. I was given Benadryl to treat it! I had to plead to be switched. I am so sorry you have to continue to endure the damage.

Abience and Blue>My first Pdoc (who teaches psychiatry at a prestigious university!) diagnosed me with psychotic depression (I had a long history of depression) after my first episode three years ago. Put me on Abilify for awhile and then switched me to Prozac alone. This lead to an six month episode which nearly destroyed everything in my life. Almost a year later I finally got the right diagnosis. I would sue if I had the strength.
