Kanye West tweets on 2016 bipolar disorder diagnosis, claims 'was mentally misdiagnosed'

Kanye West, an American rapper, songwriter, and fashion designer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016.

West now claims that he was 'mentally misdiagnosed.' The rapper was recently banned from Twitter for writing anti-sematic remarks. He is back to his usual routine of sharing personal text exchanges with people close to him.

This time, he has gone against Harley Pasternak, his former personal trainer who is Jewish.


The songwriter-turned-fashion designer tweeted he was raised to stand up for things he thought were correct regardless of the consequences. He added that he was misdiagnosed and was drugged out of his mind to act as a well-behaved celebrity.

The screenshot of the text shared by West on tweeter showed Pasternak opening up the conversation calling West to have a loving and open discussion based on facts. However, his following text had a completely different tone to them. He turned threatening by saying that he would have West sent to a mental facility.

Kanye has been under attack by fans and celebrities for his anti-Semitic remarks. While some friends reportedly claim that he is mentally unstable and going through a psychiatric episode, others say that his mental state does not exempt him from the consequences of his comments.
