I don't think Kanye West saying that he suffers from bipolar disorder is a rumor.
- P0l83q4p1Hw3Ul 4y agoPeople with bipolar disorder aren't capable of making rational decisions? And Elon is just a completely normal guy?
- aerostable_slug 4y ago> People with bipolar disorder aren't capable of making rational decisions? In the midst of an uncontrolled manic episode? Often they are not.
- ponow 4y agoSo who should be held responsible for their decision then? Who gets to decide?
- yupper32 4y agoPeople are mostly talking about this as a moral failure, not as some kind of legal issue.
- aerostable_slug 4y agoIf they commit a crime, a judge and/or jury, informed by the testimony of medical experts, determines whether someone was cognizant of right and wrong. This is not uncommon in the criminal justice system. Now, responsibility on the larger scale is indeed murky. We societally at once say addicts are and aren't responsible for their behavior (depending upon one's point of view and what acts took place): a drunk driver is treated differently than a homeless addict living under a bridge. Is Kanye 'addicted' to manic states? Should we look down upon him because he won't take his meds? I'm not sure.
- mikkergp 4y agoNot that it makes it better, but Elon also said he suffered from bipolar disorder.
- jonny_eh 4y agoHe's also claimed that he has Asperger's, without any evidence.
- mikkergp 4y agoNot having access to their psych records, I think all we have to go on is what they claim.
- LegitShady 4y agonobody owes the public their medical records for 'evidence'.
