Julie A. Fast Interview about Kanye West and Bipolar Disorder Symptoms

I was recently interviewed about #Kanye West and bipolar disorder. A link to the article from Good Magazine is below. It is very well done. I always find it interesting to see how my words are used in print. I offered a lot of back up information on why I feel Kanye has bipolar disorder. This is not in the article as much as I would like due to the length, but I do feel he has the classic signs of bipolar disorder and possible schizo affective disorder and hopefully he will get the help he needs this time. I have been where Kim is right now, and it’s scary. She is hurting and he is hurting and my compassion is with them.


 


Kristin Marguerite Doidge did an excellent job, especially considering the complication that fame always puts on mental health symptoms!


 


I have no interest in being an arm chair diagnostician. I do believe in carefully watching a person’s behavior, what they say and what those around them say as well. Kanye has shown signs of episodic depression, hypomania, full blown mania with psychosis and anxiety for many years. It’s simply an illness.
