Kanye West Reveals Autism Diagnosis After Years of Bipolar Misdiagnosis

The rapper, now known as Ye, credits his wife Bianca Censori for encouraging a re-evaluation of his mental health diagnosis.

Ye disclosed on 'The Download' podcast that he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and has since been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
His wife, Bianca Censori, urged him to seek a second opinion after questioning the accuracy of his bipolar diagnosis from 2016.
Ye explained that the autism diagnosis has helped him make sense of past behaviors, including his resistance to external influence and controversial public actions.
The rapper stated he stopped taking medication prescribed for bipolar disorder, citing concerns about its impact on his creativity.
Ye announced his upcoming album 'Bully,' set to release on June 15, his daughter North West's birthday.
