Kanye West Reportedly Released From Hospital After Psychologist Reveals His Symptoms Fit Schizoaffective Disorder

LA-based psychologist Julie Armstrong suggests Kanye is suffering from schizoaffective disorder. Symptoms of the condition include hallucinations, delusions and manic behavior.

“He is not sleeping and he’s also got this luminosity — he’s saying, ‘I am Jesus.’ A manic schizophrenic, a manic psychotic person has a religious delusion or delusion of persecution, and that’s exactly what he’s doing,” she tells In Touch.

She continues, “Mania often comes with an irritable mood, a provocative mood and that’s all very indicative of bipolar disorder.”

While Ms. Armstrong is simply aligning his public behaviors with the mood disorders, those closest to him say he’s long struggled with his mental health.

An insider tells In Touch he’s struggled for years with depression, anxiety and impulse-control issues.
