Can anyone recommend any other books that delve into the world of madness? Preferably non-fiction.

*Anything* by Oliver Sacks.....his professional experiences combined with real care and concern
for those who -because of what ever strange chemical inbalances or accidents of Nature - are different from what the rest of us consider to be 'normal'.
It can be quite scary reading-as it could happen to any of us.
