Kim Kardashian Admits Husband Kanye West Has Bipolar Disorder In Social Media Statement

Kim Kardashian Admits Kanye Has Bipolar Disorder In Media Statement 
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West, has admitted that her rapper husband Kanye West has bipolar disorder, something the public has already suspected.
This follows after Kanye suffered a social media meltdown in which he made several incoherent tweets, making wild accusations and theories against his family.


Kim was forced to come out in the open about his condition, after Kanye dragged their family into the mud with his utterances during what is now believed to have been a manic episode.
Kanye has admitted to be Bipolar in the past but has since backtracked saying his past meltdown was caused exhaustion and not Bipolar.
Judging from Kim’s statement it seems the rapper is still struggling to accept and fully commit himself to getting help.
Said Kim in a statement

As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health.
Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help.
I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions. He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions.
Living with bi-polar disorder does not diminish or invalidate his dreams and his creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may feel to some. That is part of his genius and as we have all witnessed.
We as a society talk about giving grace to the issue of mental health as a whole, however we should also give it to the individuals who are living with it in times when they need it the most.
I kindly ask that the media and public give us the compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this. Thank you for those who have expressed concern for Kanye’s well being and for your understanding.
With Love and Gratitude,
Kim Kardashian West
