Kim Kardashian on Wednesday asked for compassion and empathy for her rapper husband Kanye West's struggles with bi-polar disorder that have led to a series of rambling public remarks on subjects ranging from politics to his marriage. "As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder," she wrote, calling him a "brilliant but complicated person." "Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions," Kardashian wrote. West announced he had bi-polar disorder in 2018 and has in the past lamented that he feels medication stifles his creativity. Bi-polar disorder is a form of mental illness characterized by unusual mood swings between extreme energy and activity and depression, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
