He is in crisis, and there's no way of knowing how this is going to end. One thread of hope here though is that this sort of thing isn't uncommon in people with bipolar disorder. We're just seeing it on a large scale and in the public eye because it's Kanye. For many people with BP1, it's a common trajectory for there to be several bouts of going on and off meds before the individual actually starts to see their value and what they have to offer over being unmedicated. His claims that the meds dampen his personality and/or creative spark or whatever aren't unfounded or just the ravings of the mentally ill. They can certainly do that. Unfortunately, many people have to fall down some deep holes multiple times before accepting that the only way they're going to function long-term is if they take medication, side effects and all. In Kanye's case it certainly doesn't help that he's made his career out of disregarding naysayers and believing in himself and his ideas an ungodly amount. What made him who he is may ultimately be his downfall if he can't step aside and let others help him.
Max Bemis of Say Anything had a similar episode - he ended up in a state of paranoia, thinking that people were constantly watching and videotaping him. A decade later and he's sober, medicated, and seemingly content with his wife, kids, and music. Hopefully we see a similar outcome for Ye.

The man needs help, idk his loved ones aren't protecting him more. He's clearly not in the right state of mind.
There's only so much you can do for an adult in this situation, and it's not much. Unless they're a literal danger to themselves or others they can't be held against their will.

100% agree. To me, at this point, his actions are more of an indictment against those around him than Kanye himself. Real friends and loved ones would not be letting this happen.
See above. I know everyone hates on the kardashians for some reason, but they don't need to be judged right now. I'm sure they're doing their best, and their options are extremely limited.

As a foreigner, I don't know if rules for forced admission (if that's the correct term even, I just translated it) is the same as it is here but there's certain guidelines for his family to force him to get help even if it's against his own will.
There's 3 options (according to Belgium's legal system that is); - he's agressive and may cause harm to others - there's a severe assumption he might hurt himself - he's mentally ill (a medic determines if he is or not) but there's no discription of what 'mentally ill' is supposed to mean
In either option, there needs to be petition + a medical report (from his doctor for example) signed in to the justice of peace (again, idk if that term is right) and he'll decide what comes next. But you're getting into justice-stuff after that and I'm not to well with that + it's probably different anyways. Like he'd get his lawyer to defend that he's completely fine and doesn't need forced admission etc etc.

Lol, this is legitimately the first thing that pops up in my Google
"Involuntary mental health treatment is a serious curtailment of liberty."
I imagine he has the legal team to fight it soundly
We don't know ofcourse what he's doing with his life, if does or has done therapy/seen a psych, what kind of medication he takes and what not... Those are some factors that you'd take into account if it'd happen or not. The man spend some time in a hospital in 2016 in the midst of his TLOP tour, no? Seems like a long time ago but still. That clip of him at that rally... That's not really something to laugh at or about and sure you'd make the argument that he's using the media or (if you're a bit cynical his team) to push for that new album that seemingly seems to be dropping on Friday but still..

Kim said in an interview for vanity fair or something last year that medicine “just isn’t an option for him, bc it changes who he is”.
The only thing Kim can “do” at this point is leave him, but that’s a big step to take and they’ve been together a v long time.
Interesting article. Some random dude showed up early and was able to pretend to be a crew member and because nobody was really in charge other people started asking him what they should be doing.

Pretty much as big of a shitshow, if not bigger, that I expected...

Looks like they tried to get help for him, completely ignoring the rest of the nonsense this tweet consists of..

I agree that my original post was at best reductive and insensitive. I feel strong personal uncertainty that those close to Kanye - including but not limited to the Kardashian-Jenners - are the best support system for serious mental illness, but I understand wanting to give the benefit of the doubt.
I like how I didn’t think this album was gonna come out tonight so much that o forgot it was supposed to come out and when my friend asked me if I was excited I asked he meant was about Taylor Swift

2020 is weird man
You ask me a year or two ago "Which upcoming album you more excited about? Kanye or Taylor Swift?" and it wouldn't even be a question. Now? Give me that Swift
