Kanye West opens up about his struggle with bipolar disorder: “It’s like a sprained brain”

Kanye West is opening up about a topic he rarely discusses — his mental health. The rapper details his struggle with bipolar disorder in the new season of David Letterman’s Netflix show, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.”

In a clip of the episode, which is set to drop Friday, Letterman asks West, “What is the mechanism that is malfunctioning or is taking a break in your brain, do you know?”

“I wouldn’t be able to explain that as much just because, you know, I’m not a doctor,” West replied. “I can just tell you what I’m feeling at the time, and I feel a heightened connection with the universe when I’m ramping up. It is a health issue. This — it’s like a sprained brain, like having a sprained ankle. And if someone has a sprained ankle, you’re not going to push on him more. With us, once our brain gets to a point of spraining, people do everything to make it worse.”

West says he is under a doctor’s care, that he uses alternative treatment methods, but he thinks medication may work with others with bipolar disorder.

Dr. Tara Narula told “CBS This Morning” she applauds West and every other celebrity who speaks about their mental health illness.

“Because this is a real struggle for so many Americans. One in five Americans, our husbands, our children, our friends are dealing with this. And many of them are suffering in silence, they’re suffering with shame and guilt. They’re suffering alone, and they’re not getting the care and the treatment that they need,” Narula said. – Source
