In a string of tweets, Dr. Imani interacted with her fans on Twitter discussing Kanye West's mental health in detail. She added that though she is a fan of Kanye, she cannot deny the rapper's mental health and gave her medical opinion based on his recent behaviour. She added furthermore with the tweets, writing - 

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.
