He started talking about good psychological memoirs, like "An Unquiet Mind" (which I've meant to read) and the one by Kurt Vonnegut's son about schizophrenia.

I love reading memoir, here are a couple that you might enjoy related to therapy (more the first one) or mental health symptoms (more the second one).
