Kanye West on Being Bipolar

I'm bipolar, and I'm disappointed and slightly scared that kanye west is now a spokesperson for the disease. I don't think he's a talented musician, I don't think he's represented himself well publicly and I think he's a bad look for people who have bipolar.

why can't Kimmel do one interview without going political?

How you gonna say you bipolar when u never been depress. It’s like you don’t even know your own healf dude

Just when I think I’m about to like the guy I realize once again that he will always bug me. The guy talks out of both sides of his mouth and it never makes any sense at all

This is why people should stop judging before getting to know the person

I didn't know Kimmel could be sensible until I seen this interview.

I am so glad Kanye got help. It’s was crazy how we literally didn’t see his symptoms when it was right smack in our face. Remember his whole “i’m a god like creature” type of attitude he had? That was his mania and believing you yourself are at a higher power is a symptom of mania and bipolar disorder. You got this Kanye

Chester Bennington was bipolar too...sad the worlds best singer couldnt be saved😥😔🙏

love it. so admirable to see someone so confident and proud of who they are, this will give courage to mental health sufferers to love themselves more and not hide away from the world😙

Does he take meds to control being bipolar or meds free?

i was today old when i found out he was bipolar.

People need to realize he struggles just like anyone else and they just judge him more because he is a public figure and it’s not fair.

Im sorry but how are you biopolar if you don't experience lows? That is pretty much the main issue with the disease- manic highs and low lows. Get a new doctor

I'm bipolar too

Being happy, contended and overwhelmed for no reason for a moment then literally after 3 seconds, it changes into a feeling of frustration.

Hes not bi Polar he has Aspergers I know for a fact because our personalities are identical and I am also creative and suffer with OCD connected to my interests...……. beacause of my Autism and Aspergers syndrome

I applaud Kanye for being so transparent to society

When you hide that your bipolar you feel guilty of the aftermath. Wearing it like a badge you don't harbour the emotions as much and just exist. For those of you who struggle, it's real keep fighting 🙏🏽

There's no bipolar without depression. Both manic (or hypomanic) AND depressive states have to be attested by a professional in order to diagnose bipolar disorder. It's fine that Kanye doesn't want to elaborate on his low lows in this interview (it actually feels a bit intrusive that Jimmy asks about it so bluntly) and there's no rule stating that he must represent and educate people on mental disorders now. But yeah, there's no way he's bipolar and not depressed. But depression doesn't show up in the same way for everyone

Bipolar is like torrets syndrome
