Kanye West's Bipolar Apology Splits Mental-Health Experts

Kanye West released a Wall Street Journal apology ad attributing harmful behavior to a four‑month bipolar manic episode, a move that has split mental‑health experts between empathy and skepticism. Some see it as a vulnerable, sincere acknowledgment that aligns with bipolar reality, while others call it a strategic excuse or cop‑out. The debate reflects broader public difficulty in processing celebrity mental illness, even as West’s new album Bully streams strongly but not at the peak levels of his past releases.

Blue-light–depleted evenings in psychiatric wards may improve mood and curb aggression

Two identical psychiatric wards in Trondheim were split into blue-light–depleted evenings vs. standard lighting; patients in the circadian-adapted ward showed greater symptom improvement and less aggression, though length of stay was similar, suggesting lighting design could be a scalable, drug-free way to support mood and behavior in mental health care with potential wider use in dementia care.

Gaga's lithium tale sparks debate over cheap, non-prescription mood-support options

Lady Gaga says a controversial drug helped her mental health, including filming A Star Is Born while on lithium. The article contrasts prescription lithium carbonate—dosed by psychiatrists and linked to side effects—with lithium orotate, an over‑the‑counter, low‑dose supplement marketed as a cheaper alternative. Prescribed doses are typically 600–1,800 mg daily, while supplements run around 1–5 mg daily. While some experts and studies note mood‑stabilizing and potential neuroprotective benefits, safety concerns persist and most doctors warn that low‑dose lithium is not a substitute for medical care. The piece also references water‑borne lithium research and a Harvard study on dementia, underscoring the need for medical guidance before starting any supplement.
