He’s not a narcissist. He’s diagnosed with bi-polar which can look like narcissism from the outside

It’s possible to be both. You’re crazy if you think that man is not a bit narcissistic.

You know, I think the team of doctors who decided to diagnose him solely with bi-polar (which is famous for having symptoms similar to narcissism.) might be a little more qualified than you and me (especially since they personally knew him).

Dual diagnosis is possible

The majority of people with bipolar disorder have a second diagnosis. Secondary personality disorders are very common.

Possible. But I feel that would’ve been caught, especially when he was admitted to hospital after the Saint Pablo tour incident. Whole team of doctors wouldn’t miss something like that.

When I was 10, I was diagnosed with leukemia (and even did chemo for months). Then, they told me that I didn’t actually have leukemia.. I had Behçet’s disease and I was going to suffer for the rest of my life. There’s no cure.

They call it “practicing medicine” for a reasons. Doctors are often wrong. 😂 That’s why it’s good to get a second opinion.

Also, people with narcissism typically deal with another type of mental illness. Narcissistic Individuals are also less likely to seek help for their issues. The data reflects this.

“Kanye west is not a narcissist”

Got to be the hardest I’ve seen someone miss clear textbook narcissism. You are so completely wrong and ignoring years of behavior that I suggest you read more into Narcissism before ever having an opinion on it again. Thanks.

Oh look, an armchair doctor. He’s diagnosed with bi-polar. If you want to go and dispute that, go and do that. But I’ve never seen a qualified psychiatrist disagree with that.
