After Kanye West‘s hospitalisation on Monday for psychiatric evaluation, reports said that Yeezy was suffering from sleep deprivation and exhaustion.
Sources close to the family told press that the rapper was doing much better already, and that his wife Kim Kardashian West was by his side in hospital.
However – today, another source close to the situation has said that Kanye‘s hospitalisation is “far from over”, and the rapper was suffering from far more than sleep deprivation.
Kanye will more than likely stay at the UCLA Medical Centre until the week’s end – which means he’ll be away from his family and in hospital on Thanksgiving.
His family reportedly wanted him home before Thanksgiving, as they believed it would be of benefit to his mental health, but this was sadly not to be.
While doctors originally said the rapper was suffering from a temporary psychosis brought on by sleep and water deprivation, the source says Kanye‘s mental health battles are allegedly far deeper than simply exhaustion.
His psychological condition is reportedly severe enough that his decision to cancel his entire ‘Saint Pablo‘ tour will be completely covered under his insurance policy, which covers lost profits for cancelled gigs due to illness.
However, according to People, Kanye definitely is “starting to feel more like himself”.
A source says that although Ye had to be restrained when he was originally taken to hospital, he now knows that it was essential:
“They are taking it day by day.He understands that getting help at the hospital was necessary.”
