There should have already been an intervention or hospitalization. I wonder why nobody in his family cares enough to do anything other than to let him implode. (Is this their conscious decision to "let him crash" and "let him hit bottom" so that he's more open to receiving help? When your below rock-bottom, the only way is up.)

if someone decides they don't want to take their meds or accept treatment. The family might be able to do a 24 hour psychiatric hold if things get really bad, but then the facility releases them and it's back to square one.

I remember reading that people with bipolar disorder who are not properly medicated have about a 5 year life expectancy, worse than some cancer patients.

When he descends from this manic phase, there is a high risk of him committing suicide. I feel sorry for his child.

Kanye is likely clinically depressed and in a manic state. Trump is a sociopath.

They both have narcissistic personality disorder.
