Kim Kardashian asked for compassion and empathy for Kanye West's bipolar disorder
News24xx.com - Kim Kardashian on Wednesday asked for compassion and empathy for her rapper husband Kanye West's struggles with bipolar disorder that have led to a series of rambling public remarks on subjects ranging from politics to his marriage.
Kardashian's statement on her Instagram stories account was her first public comment on weeks of interviews, public appearances, and Twitter comments by West that have raised concern about the Grammy-winning singer's mental health.
"As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder," she wrote.

Kardashian did not mention West's stated plan to run for the White House in the November 2020 election. West held a rally in South Carolina at the weekend under his self-styled Birthday Party banner but has not outlined any coherent political policies.
"Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions," Kardashian wrote.
Earlier this week, West tweeted that his family was trying to get him committed to a psychiatric institution.
West announced he had bipolar disorder in 2018 and has in the past lamented that he feels medication stifles his creativity. He was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment in 2016.
Bipolar disorder is a form of mental illness characterized by unusual mood swings between extreme energy and activity and depression, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. It can be treated with a combination of medication and therapy.
Kardashian, a cosmetics businesswoman who first found fame on the TV reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, said she and her family were trying to get help for West, and spoke about the stigma and misunderstandings around mental health.
"Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor," she wrote.
