Kim Kardashian has finally decided speak out and address the very public bipolar disorder episode that her husband and rapper Kanye West is going through.

West’s recent statements on and offline have had many suspect that he was showing symptoms of his mental condition.

In an Instagram story that she posted, the reality star said that she decided it was time for her to speak out for her husband in order to fight the malignant stigma that society still has against mental health.

After acknowledging the fact that it is no secret that West has bipolar disorder, Kardashian said that she remained silent on this issue because she wanted to protect both her husband’s privacy to health and their family.

At the same time, she remarked that anyone who has had a loved one go through such episodes will understand and empathize with her the pains and struggles that everyone must endure. She added that in many cases, those around the patient are often powerless due to its nature.

Kardashian said that those who did not go through these episodes will find it hard to believe, and sometimes be too quick to dismiss the great efforts that the patient’s loved ones are putting in, saying that it is very easy for others to become judgmental.

At the same time, she defended her 43 year old husband by saying that he is the type of person that has a lot of detractors and enemies because he holds very strong opinions on a variety of issues.

Moreover, she invited others to put theirselves in the shoes of West and think about the immense pressure that he must be going through. Kardashian said West is a complicated human being like everyone else, trying to understand his role as a black male going through a family bereavement while with a bipolar disorder.

Kardashian also explained that some of the controversial comments that her husband made were not genuine. She emphasized that those who know the rapper personally know very well that he does not really think or mean some of the statements that were made in the recent days.
