Manic episodes are grim.
It’s a nasty cycle of taking medication, suffering from horrible side effects from the medication, feeling mentally better and more in control so scaling back on meds to stop the side effects, then mentally taking a dip before starting the cycle again. I’ve known people self-medicate with alcohol or drugs as they believe the side effects are less nasty than actual medicine.
In all seriousness, I wonder if his mother was the only one who could keep Kanye together and since her passing, living in the permissive star-fucker, fame hungry atmosphere of Clan Kardashian, Kanye has just slid.
Sorry to go all tin-foil hat, but I wonder if he ”passes” whether the Kardashians will use it to get another TV show out of it.
