My disappointment with the library...or just YA NF books in general

I went to the library to pick up a hold today (Linger by Maggie Stiefvater *swoons*) and remembered there was a book I really wanted to read, "Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume". I looked for it and couldn't find it, though the computer said there were 2 of them on the shelf. The problem was, I wasn't looking in Non-Fiction.

I have to be honest here, I never even considered that the YA section would have a Non-Fiction portion. I HAD to check it all out. I read pretty much every title and was appalled to find there was not even ONE on Teen Bipolar. Maybe about two on depression and I think on on Schizophrenia, that that was it!!!

I was insanely disgusted. There are plenty of books out there for parents of bipolar children/teens. Even books out their for bipolar adults. But what about the books for those children and teens that are actually suffering from this illness? Why aren't there any books for them?

Don't publishers thing that teens suffering from bipolar disorder would actually want to pick up a book about someone who totally gets what they are feeling?

So there is my little rant. Needless to say, I think I've found my calling. There needs to be awareness not only for these parents, but for the kids actually going through this. I, with all my heart, intend on changing that. And when I'm determined. Watch out!!!
