I've recently discovered my new obsession - Psychological disorders. The topic has me hooked. I know that disorders have been used alot of times in fiction, so I was wondering if you all had some suggestions for good books?

Novels exploring human psychological issues are always a pleasure to read. Dostoyevsky is the first name that comes to my mind when talking about psychological motifs in literature. Even Sigmund Freud was intrigued by the examination of the complexity of the human mind that he showed in his works. You can start with Crime and Punishment, his only novel that I'd read so far. Basically, it deals with criminal psychology from various walks of life. It's not a fun-time-pass read though; it's a heavy subject, and a heavy read, and there might come a time when you will literally feel like tearing the book apart with frustration. But once you get done with the book, and take your time exploring the issues raised in the course of the novel, you will come to appreciate its artistic value. Dostoyevsky's insight into the human mind is noteworthy.

If you don't have the book, and are into e-books, you can download it from here (btw, it's not an illegal copy; Gutenberg is producing and distributing classics freely on their website).

The memory keepers daughter, by Kim Edwards. I really reccomend that, it deals with Downs syndrome (not really pyschological, its more a medical problem) but it deals with every side of the human mind and how people take things differently. Its a great read. Pick it up if you get the chance
