i feel like the wording of that is probabaly off
manic depression is one of the hardest things to treat and for patterns to continue treatment. it’s very common for people with manic depression aka bipolar to stop taking their meds and or refuse treatment all together. it has one of the highest suicide rates within the mental health field or whatever because of the impulsivity aspect of it.
when kanye said his bipolar is a super power, he meant his mania feels like one. mania for many people with bipolar is something that makes them productive, albeit it’s really self destructive. it’s extremely euphoriac for someone with bipolar and is the main reason many get off their meds because for many with it, it feels like the only time we truly feel like we’re productive or feel happiness and confidence with in our selve, even though its in a very unhealthy and destructive manner. it’s like we become addicted to the mania because of the depression makes us feel so unproductive and useless and mania is the opposite.
so i feel like the “hurt her brand” reasonining, is a pretty loaded reason and doesn’t put into context of what that means for someone who is bipolar and suffers from mania.
