A delusion is defined as a “firm, fixed, false belief.” Remember the 3 Fs when it comes to delusions. Delusions of grandiosity is a symptom of mania like we are seeing here. It doesn’t quite make sense to have a “campaign rally” so late into 2020 right?
Kanye is very ill. This is mania. I understand how frustrating this can be but this is truly what bipolar disorder can look like. It’s sad that he has no insight currently to get better. I hope he does find help and soon.
