Several reports have cited psychiatrists and experts who agree that people with bipolar disorder can behave erratically and do socially inappropriate things. Critics have however noted that the rapper's behaviour is not justifiable.The erratic behavior is part and parcel of the mental health disorder, which, according to American Psychiatric Association, can bring on extreme and intense emotional states and can include risky behavior and irritability.According to Harvard Medical School, false beliefs or false perceptions can also be a sign of bipolarism, as well as an exaggerated, puffed-up self-esteem,However, various celebrities like David Schwimmer, John Legend, Jack Antonoff, and KISS' Paul Stanley have called out Kanye West’s anti-Semitic comments, stating that a medical condition does not allow somebody to go on racially targeting a particular group.
