KANYE WEST ON MENTAL ILLNESS

Kanye West described in vivid detail what it’s like to have a bipolar episode (CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS)

Ye opened up about his mental health struggles to David Letterman for his Netflix show, ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ — and TMZ got hold of the footage where he tries to get people to imagine a sprained ankle and then transfer that concept to a sprained brain.

Listen to Kanye … it’s a revelation when you think of a people bearing down on a sprained ankle, causing pain and exacerbating the injury. Now, think of doctors and society doing the same sort of thing to a cerebrum.

Kanye had what seemed like a nervous breakdown back in 2016, which turned out to be a bipolar episode. He was handcuffed to a hospital bed and left alone, which — only made things worse.

He says he’s opening up about all this to start a conversation about the way we treat bipolar disorder … and has been applauded for his efforts in speaking about it so candidly.

The entire season — which also includes interviews with Ellen DeGeneres and Melinda Gates — drops Friday on Netflix and we’re told through it all, Kanye is for the most part very cogent and clear.
