Living with bipolar 1 disorder makes it hard for a lot of us to want to take our meds. It feels much better to be high in fantasy land than to have to deal with the shame that comes with facing the consequences of our chaotic actions. It takes real courage to make amends and apologize to those we’ve hurt because of them. But that’s also the only way to find inner peace.

[@anonymouschicken952]

I recently watched the Lex Friedman interview, and at one point Kanye mentions that he has embraced a philosophy he described as “say it out loud”. He essentially said that he finds value in blurting out whatever thoughts pop into his mind, whether negative or positive, expressing love or hate, violence or peace, etc. I wonder how much that philosophy is damaging his social life, and his mental and behavioral health in general. I believe this idea likely came from the fact that Kanye is a musician. For artistic professions, it can be very beneficial to simply let your thoughts flow onto the page (or through your instrument, or what have you) without obstruction. As a guitarist of 15+ years, I have definitely noticed that my best creative moments most often come in moments where I let my mind surf from one idea to the next, without worrying about how any of it should be organized. In music, this is a perfectly natural way of thinking, because it allows you to write your melodies more efficiently by writing them in bulk all at the same time, then later you can simply go back and arrange the pieces you have created in a way that makes sense. But Kanye says that he applies this philosophy, or way of thinking rather, to areas outside of his creative endeavors. He speaks his mind, no matter what is on his mind, no matter the situation. And he also very clearly has a grandiose sense of himself, often implying that he was chosen by god and likening himself to Jesus, and frequently referring to himself as the greatest writer/thinker/influencer/musician/celebrity/whatever else of his time. Combine those two factors, and what you get is a character like Kanye West. Someone who speaks in erratic, disconnected bursts of mania which rarely if ever even remotely relate to the question they were asked; But whom cannot be convinced that they aren’t making any sense because they believe they are the greatest genius of their generation. It’s unfortunate that Kanye has not been able to get the help he needs, because he truly was a talented artist at one point. But he has become so delusional and self absorbed that it’s hard to imagine he will ever return to form again. I certainly wouldn’t want to support him as an artist anymore, because evidently his success has only served to make his mental illness worse by reinforcing his grandiose delusions about himself. Here’s hoping Kanye is able to find the help he needs, and that some day he looks back on this moment in his life as a wake up call.

[@elisamastromarino7123]

I watched the interview and he stated at one point that it hurts his feelings when people ask him if he's okay. He went on to say "these are people who aren't as successful as me and _dare_ to ask me if *_I'm_* okay!" It was in that moment that I knew I was the atheist who was saying the word "narcissist" under my breath.

[@altavatan1558]

everyone knows that asking someone "if they are okay" especially when they don't even know the person is basically an insult. I think society and the creation of the internet has created a people who no longer have critical thinking skills. It's all about the one liner to insult people.

He is abusive which makes it hard to have compassion and empathy, I think. He doesn’t think there is anything wrong with him and that all his problems (unemployment, legal problems from assault to multiple DUIs, etc) are because people are always just out to get him. He never will accept any responsibility or apologize for any thing, ever. He always used to beat me up and be really verbally abusive when we were kids but I still loved him and looked up to him. I think I am just growing tired of it, but I know he needs help. Really frustrating and scary. He thought he had parasites in his body for years and I would send him money all the time so he could get more tests to prove that he had these parasites but he would never believe the doctors. He thinks it was a huge conspiracy against him and that the Doctors were all against him. My husband and I gave him so much money, like over 30,000 over a two year period because he was having medical issues.

This was wonderful Dr Grande! As I have ADHD and bipolar, I only know of Kanye due to a son liking his music. I did see him in an interview and was quite offended when he stated anyone who has bipolar doesn't get depressed and if they do, they don't have it? Since when did he become a medical specialist? I control symptoms with mindfulness and regular support from my doctor's. It's disturbing with some of this man's view's, my 83yr old dad used to say, some famous people with too much money can become too obsessed with control over other's! Love your channel ❤️🇭🇲

[@MsNooneinparticular]

Sounds like someone in full-blown mania or a drug-induced state. By definition you must have so many episodes of both mania and depression to be bipolar so he's wrong.

Brain damage from psychotropic medications that have been misused or due to physician malpractice can cause the same thing.

Since I’m not narcissistic I can’t state how he feels on the inside - don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with him on everything he says and thinks, however he does have a right to his own opinion just like the rest of us. There are two types of people in this situation - Those who agree with him and those who don’t. And that’s actually ok. Instead of calling him crazy, maybe we should consider saying instead, “Kanye has a right to his opinion, but I disagree”

I watched the interview. Kanye mostly was very clear and articulate in professing his thoughts. However, he would go off topic, at times, and struggle with regaining composure in order to verbally relate his ideas. In those “rants,” he would verbally stumble as if he lost his grip on exactly what was expressing. I believe he was tremendously emotional, during those times, resulting in him looking odd. The subject of his wife, kids, and his investment regarding Slims and the Kutchener’s % of the business all caused him to lose his self control or focus. He felt betrayed by his ex-wife and his friends, the Kutchners. Overall, the interview was interesting and well done. We do not know Kanye personally and do not know what he deals with every day. The MSM and the Kardashians have united to set the narrative about Kanye. They each have their own reasons why they need to push the “crazy” Kanye narrative. I pray for him to heal so that he can gain more insight, more self control, and a stronger,closer relationship with his faith in Christ Jesus.

(Referential mania.) He could point out some more realistic truths. Kanye needs help. I hope he gets it. As much as I find it impossible to feel very sorry for Kim K, when I bother to think about her at all, I do imagine she wishes with all her heart that he'd just go away.
