On top of extreme sleep deprivation, exhaustion, dehydration and temporary psychosis, Kanye West is also battling “profound depression” and paranoia, according to sources close to the rapper.
Yeezy has been under the care of physicians since being forcibly removed from his home, placed on a gurney and sent to UCLA Medical Center November 21st for treatment. While family and friends thought he would be well enough to spend Thanksgiving at home, the rapper missed the festive holiday, leading slight credence to reports that West is doing much worse than previously thought.

So, uh…yeah. Hard to even joke about this now. Dude’s gone pretty far around the bend. At least he’s getting help?
It would be cool if after all this is normal he starts making good music again.
Once again, the Kardashians drive a man insane. First Bruce, now Kanye.
Odom, too.
No jokes, it is a troubling trend
Hopefully whatever treatment he gets will also fix his tardmouth
Seriously? Nubwaxer you should probably think about that comment.
Yes I am serious. I can dislike someone’s music but really like the person (Drake). It’s not a big deal that I don’t enjoy his talents, but he runs his mouth constantly and it’s annoying as hell. I genuinely hope that was related to his mental illness and that fixing one fixes the other.
poor suffering rich people.
Mental illness is a serious disorder. Why does it matter how much rich someone is?
mental illness is actually really only a rich persons disease. Good Psychologist’s only work traditional hours (aka work when you are at work), and charge 150-250 per hour.
A blue collar worker can’t disappear for 90 minutes in the middle of the day to talk about their feelings, but a manager in an office sure can.
The only other people that can use them are people forced to be the courts. But then those are usually paid for, and you are forced to make the hours work.

“mental illness is actually really only a rich persons disease.”
20 to 25% of the homeless population in the United States suffers from some form of severe mental illness.
I am sure they would strongly disagree with your opinion (especially the many I just served for Thanksgiving).
@bluehairdontcare That couldn’t be more wrong, and it’s that attitude that allows mental illness to be mocked and not taken seriously
@bluehairdontcare “A blue collar worker can’t disappear for 90 minutes in the middle of the day to talk about their feelings”
Wow, you have no idea what you’re talking about, do you? Stop embarrassing yourself.
did any of you guys read @bluehairdontcare entire comment?
Someone needs to break it to him that he’s not a genius, and most of the praise he gets is for the work of “collaborators” who are legitimately innovative producers.
Maybe then he’ll stop feeling like he has to suffer to keep making “genius” music.
If that was the case there aren’t any geniuses anywhere.. no one does anything alone! The fact that anything he touches is automatically worth millions says enough.. he didn’t sign a star athlete to sell a shoe, he drew it! Just say you’re not a fan..
It ceases to be fun to rag on overhyped celebrities, at the point where they’re collapsing under the weight of their own egos and yes-men bubbles.
This guy needs help.
Man, some of you better hope (or pray; if you believe) you never suffer mental illness (which can certainly appear out of nowhere). To see a man or woman’s mind begin to no longer operate normally is a scary thing to even think about. This present world is an absolute trip. No matter how you feel about someone (whom most commenting have never personally met by the way), you do not feel anything other than empathy when something like this occurs. If you do not, cool, but to comment in a negative manner? That is like asking for it to touch you or anyone you love the most in this world. I am too conscious of the way life inevitably works to kick someone while they are down (no matter how rich, obnoxious, arrogant, or a non-genius you think said person is).
Facts man. It’s weird, a lot of people need to make themselves feel better about themselves and separate themselves from people who struggle mentally by proving they are not by saying negative things. I love when people come back and find themselves after mental struggle. Pick that backpack up for a second Kanye and play Hey Mama 20 times.
Some people think that just because it’s easy for them, it should be easy for every one else.
Word bro! I’m hoping these are children or really old people who hate everything anyway! even if the entire thing is a fake so the world wouldn’t turn on him after that last rant, u shouldn’t hate someone you don’t know that much! It’s kinda sad to see..
You who do not know someone with mental illness, think this is aberrant and biazarre. People can become psychotic at any age. My child did at 34. I tried many times to get him in UCLA. There was at least a 2 week wait. Kayne was admitted immediately. If you go to their ER and they think you need Hosp. They will send you to another hospital. Mysonwas told by doctor there he was on wait list, to call everyday to check for opening. Someone at hospital told him to give up. And he did. Now he is in jail for acting out. People who have psychosis are suffering so much. Meds are hard to regulate or they turn to alcohol or self harm. Can you imagine being in their brain for 5 minutes? Thinking people are after you. Thinking someone is being sent to kill you? It’s delusional and can’t be reasoned. A doctor once told me to imagine you are on a plane that is crashing to the ground. You feel like you are about to die. They feel like that all the time. I hope Kayne will shed some light on this suffering. More help and attention needs to come to them. Insurance companies will let them go to hospital but not for long enough. Thanks for listening.
He’s not being paranoid, he is under attack from everywhere. Because he’s a massive cunt
C’mon man. Stop.
That’s what we’ve been telling Kanye for years
Translation: “It’s not my fault I’m every word in the book. It’s mental illness”
Kanye has never been right since the passing of his mother. He needs to give himself a chance to grieve properly. Meaning he doesn’t need to around his wife nor her family. It’s needs to be him and a pastor and a therapist.
I always knew he was going to crack it was just a matter of time. I really hopes he gets better……
