How Bipolar Affects Kanye

Kanye’s recent disturbing actions have landed him in the news consistently. Between the unwarranted harassment towards his ex-wife Kim Kadarshian and her now ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson, to his tweets stating he’d go “death con 3 on Jewish people,” as well as his explanation on George Floyd’s death (Consequently Floyd’s family sued West for $250 million).

Not only has Kanye said unbelievable and unspeakable things, he also has been making rash decisions. He agreed recently to purchase the Conservative social media platform Parlar. The platform’s main goal is to be the opposite of Twitter and make people “non-cancelable”.

The purchase of this platform was ‘big’ in Ye’s eyes as well as his fellow conservative followers. He was banned on Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms for a bit; so this purchase opened a new door for him to post whatever he wanted to say.

These rash decisions and disturbing actions have made Ye’s fall into a deep hole. Watching this spiral has been very difficult to many people described as periods of deep depression then periods of manic episodes.

“One week I feel as if I’m on top of the world, and the next I’m falling and can’t help save myself,” one anonymous source said.

A combination of factors that lead to being diagnosed with this mental illness includes genetics, environment, and altered brain chemistry.

When being diagnosed with this mental illness, learning that there is no cure is a major heartache to many. With there being no cure makes getting medication very difficult because some medication works better for some then it does others. Doctors will proceed to give patients suffering from Bipolar Disorder a differing array of medications to lower symptoms.

This is an example of Kanye’s more concerning posts.

His battle with Bipolar Disorder has always been difficult and recently has gotten worse. Feeling bad for him, I believe he deserves empathy and lots of help. But at the same time he needs to be held accountable for his actions and the destruction he has caused.

Kanye has spoken about living with Bipolar Disorder as well as writes about it in his songs, in his song ‘Yikes’ he states that being bipolar is his “superpower.”

The exact cause of Bipolar Disorder is unknown, but it is

Many people who are looking into Kanye’s very rough situation believe the amounts of medication he takes has been failing, making his spiral the biggest many psychiatrists have seen.

Being with Kim balanced Kanye. She in some light was his “rock.” Having his everyday normal life was supporting him. When he lost what he loved, he also lost his sense of stability. Losing this made him lose everything he had built up.

Losing his wife, children, brand deals, and most importantly his fans, Wests’ downfall is painful to watch. Knowing that if he were to receive the help he needed sooner, he might have been saved from everything he lost.
