Kim Kardashian ‘Worried’ About ‘Unpredictable’ Kanye West As Rapper Suffers Bipolar Episode, Source Claims

Kanye West made headlines after he claimed he was running for president in the upcoming 2020 election, but behind the scenes, sources say things aren’t going smoothly for the rapper. According to People, his wife Kim Kardashian is worried about his unpredictable behavior.

West has been open about his mental health in the past, talking about his struggles with bipolar disorder, which sees him experience manic highs and depressive lows. While he has been in a good place for a while, recently, he has been struggling again, one source said.

“Kanye has been doing well for a long time. In the past, he has suffered both manic and depressive episodes related to his bipolar disorder. Right now, he is struggling again,” the source stated.

The situation is apparently weighing heavily on his wife, who is temporarily separated from her husband while she stays with their kids in Los Angeles. Kanye is currently residing at their ranch in Wyoming.

“Kim is concerned, as well as her whole family. It’s super stressful for Kim, because Kanye’s behavior is very unpredictable. She is worried,” the source said. “The episodes usually last for a few weeks and then things go back to normal. Kim hopes it will be the same this time.”

The news comes after a series of controversial events, which began when West announced he was planning on running for president while conducting an interview with Forbes magazine. During the interview, he claimed he was running under a new political party called the “Birthday Party,” so-named because if he wins, it would be like everyone was having a birthday.

The news outlet described the conversation with the rapper as “rambling.” At one point, he addressed the question of his mental health, saying he was hospitalized a few years prior and people have questioned his sanity.

“I’m not crazy,” he said.

West originally announced that he was given the diagnosis of bipolar disorder when he was 39, but later said he had been misdiagnosed and was sleep deprived. Later, both he and Kardashian confirmed he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Kardashian has said that she and her family have learned to deal with the disorder and now know how to better handle his episodes. But she added it bothers her when people question why she isn’t controlling him better when he is in the middle of one.

West has decided not to treat his mental health issue with pharmaceuticals because he has said it changes his mental state.
