The book 'Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me' is a graphic memoir by Ellen Forney that explores the relationship between 'crazy' and 'creative'. Using black-and-white drawings with touches of color, it delves into the world of mental illness, specifically bipolar disorder, and her personal journey through diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately acceptance. It is a moving, honest and often funny book that opens up the conversation about mental health.
