Kanye's Bipolar disorder
As per a report published in a leading news daily, Kim, who is currently in Los Angeles with their four kids, is "worried" about her husband's behaviour and it is super stressful for her, as Kanye's behaviour is ‘very unpredictable’ when he experiences the episodes. Reportedly, Kanye’s episodes last for a few weeks and then things go back to normal. Kim is 'completely devastated' after the public allegations made by her husband and the couple’s close friends now fear that the marriage may not survive due to Kanye's frightening behaviour, suggests the report. Kim reportedly asked West to back off from this year's Presidential Elections, owing to his uncertain health conditions.
