As the comic book industry is struggling to remake itself right now, the changes publishers have made are often focused on diversity.

Just last month, Marvel added a new Hispanic Spider-Man. When DC Comics relaunched its comics’ universe in September, it was done with an eye on racial diversity. And in just the last few weeks, fans have quite vehemently demanded less sexualization of female characters in comics.

But another group of avid comic fans are hoping the new sensitivity toward diversity will also change the way comics treat another minority group:

The mentally ill.

“We see this as a great opportunity,” said Praveen Kambam, a forensic psychiatrist who’s helping to lead the charge. “While they modernize other areas of their comics, they also could modernize their mental health depictions.”
