He should check for brain cancer.
He has bipolar and he's rich. Either one of those factors could cause someone to say and do shit like this
Being bipolar or rich doesn't make you a neo nazi.
No, but some mental issues could lead to paranoid and conspiratorial thinking.
Doesn't excuse it of course.
Upvoted, but it does. You do ridiculous things with certain issues.
It excuses the behaviour right up until there are meds you can take to become better and you intentionally don't take them. Then you are right back at being responsible for everything you do.
It’s still not that simple, as it’s at least in part the condition that makes it so they don’t want to take their meds or be treated.
I am talking about when you are on meds and receiving treatment and then stop taking them. In the case of Kanye he often stops taking them because he has stated that they make him less creative.
Bipolar disorder treatment is complex, often medication will act differently in different mental states. You might be low energy and depressive, so they prescribe a medication that might have a stimulating effect, then it pushes you into a manic state and you need something less energizing. It's very common for people with bipolar to decide to stop taking their medication.
No but they do not help.

Symptoms from the NHS website:
Those are things that can lead someone to act like he does.
When people saying 'mental illness doesn't make you racist', it makes me think what does make a person racist? Paranoia, anxiety, delusion, trauma, are tied to it often. I kind of think racism could be seen as a mental illness in itself.
Exactly. Kanye is bipolar, rich, and he’s a fucknut.
Same way ou can have chicken-pox and AIDS at the same time.
They are not mutually exclusive.
