Author and artist Ellen Forney consulted the DSM-IV, the official guide to the diagnosis of mental health disorders, and other scientific literature, when she was researching and creating her graphic memoir Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me about her diagnosis and treatment for bipolar disorder. One of her goals in creating Marbles was to make scientific data understandable to all her readers.
