Kanye West has had a whirlwind week, but he appears to be getting back to the art – at least for now.
In a video captured by TMZ on Friday morning (July 24), Ye was spotted filming with a small group of people on his Wyoming ranch. It’s unclear what’s being shot, but the clip shows a camera focused on a woman with a yellow jacket on.
It’s possible the visual is for Kanye’s DONDA album, which he previously announced would arrive on Friday. In true Kanye form, however, nothing has materialized as of yet.
TMZ also spoke with Dr. Phil to get his opinion on the Jesus Is King rapper, as Kim Kardashian West confirmed his recent behavior is a result of a bipolar episode. According to the famed personality (who is actually not a doctor but does have a masters in psychology), containment is what’s best right now.
“People can look at the antics of someone that’s going through a manic episode of bipolar one or two and really just comment on what they’re doing and ignore the fact that this is actually a disease and it involves imbalance in the brain,” he began. “The best approach is containment and I know that’s not a great approach but once you reach 18, or in some states 21. … Once you hit the age of majority, then parents and spouses become influencers, not controllers. They can’t dictate what happens.”
He went on to give examples of bipolar people he’s dealt with, explaining the disease can cause them to put themselves in debt or in harm’s way.

“You’re not dealing with them, the person that you know, and that’s why I say containment is best,” he explained. “You try and protect them from themselves. I’ve had people when I was in private practice that would go by five or six cars in a day. Sometimes you have to follow behind them and negate that stuff so they don’t wind up in terrible debt. They take high risk behaviors where they drive erratically so you what what you try and do in containing that is you try to keep them out of cars, you try to keep them out of financial situations where they can do things that they’re exploited and the results last for years after the fact.”
He wrapped up reminding listeners Kanye is dealing with a disease and he shouldn’t be judged as “somebody being a jerk.”

How he become Bipolar at the age of 38?
He already was bipolar, but he used to take his meds before. Now he stopped using them, because they get in the way of his creativity. At least, thats what I’ve read.
Bipolar people can function and be really good at achieving things and being creative when they are in a good phase and then hate themselves and the world and not able to get out of bed when they are in a bad phase.
Also losing a loved one like your mother might trigger worse bi-polar episodes.
He was medically diagnosed and treated as an adult. He was medicated as he described in one of his interviews.
His bipolar started when he was a teenager. It typically starts during adolescents and he was no exception.
Something really fishy with this whole kanye thing usual doctor just lock him in a room and pill him up that will do it! I dont buy any of this shit, its probley just an assignation of character due to believing in Jesus Christ.
Bipolar people are at risk of getting exploited financially? That explains why Dame Dash was suddenly hanging out with Kanye. Probably needs someone to pay off his debts.
Hella “by five or six cars in a day…” jeez. I know the schools are closed, but spellcheck the damn article first, no?!
Yep… how about the next paragraph, multiple typos in this article. A mess.
Agree 100%, horribly written article. Clearly, no one proof reads their work any more.
How come bipolar behavior didn’t make him
Fuck up those gap deals and all that? He’s not crazy. He’s foolish. And he’s lost my attention as far as trying to wonder. I just put two and two together.
Indeed, dame dash even said he has kanye doing big business deals sitting on the table with different investor etc.
You put two and two together? I find it funny once the media finds a shit ass narrative to hold over someone’s head you all follow suit and agree one hundred percent you are all so brainwashed non wonder your country is going to shit
You do not add very well which is why your country is communist.
MK Ultra,
You are the one with the poor math skills whose country is a POS communist place. Be careful I may turn you into your authorities. ???
You are ignorant bipolar is not being ‘crazy’. You can be perfectly functional individual until the manic episode when people come off as being too selfish, self-centered with heightened confidence in their ability and it is usually Followed by depression when people can’t get out of bed for a week. Besides Kanye is a brand now, not a single individual, he has advisors and people around him who steps in the business side of things
Sorry. My above response was not to you. Disregard please
Um, Dr. Phil is a doctor???? He has a PhD (DOCTORate) of clinical psychology? So yes, his title is Dr. McGraw. M.D. is not the only degree that gives you the title of doctor.
His license finished years ago. He he hasn’t that official title anymore. hakch
Psy.M., not PhD or MD.
Master of Psychology. The Master of Psychology (abbreviated Psy. M. or M. Psych.) is a master’s degree in the field of Psychology.
His inner spirit animal, The Bipolar Bear just reawakened after years of hibernation again and boy is he hungry and pissed off lol
