Thank you for this!!

You hit the nail on the head.

I have had a friend since High School who was diagnosed with bipolar in the 80's. She's been more or less stable since then, with a few exceptions.

Unfortunately, she got a new therapist who concluded that she had been misdiagnosed and took her off her meds.

She then pretty much blew up life. She has cut off all of her friends, thinking we are plotting against her. She has cut off her entire family, except for her 20 year old daughter. She sold her house and is living in a shack somewhere along the pacific crest trail now. I really hope it works out for her.

I don't hold Ye's antisemitism against him because he is obviously unwell. I said and did a lot of horrible things when I was psychotic. And yes, the most racist thing I ever saw was in a mental hospital, when a woman started shouting the n-word at a black guy over and over for no reason.

The thing I would fault Ye for is going off his meds (if that's what he did. I haven't read much about it).
