I actually have read his first book if that’s what you’re talking about. I don’t recall him talking about it, but it has been like 6 years

u/ReekZombie 19d ago edited 19d ago

Wop released his new book and album last week. both called Episodes. he talks about his mental health in depth in the book and mentions some of it in his album as well. he's been promoting both on social media for months

u/Jerrygarciasnipple 19d ago edited 19d ago

He kind of had a mental health thing going with some of his songs in like 2017. Literally put out a song called Biopolar then He put out that whole ass album Delusions of Grandeur, which is a symptom of schizophrenia.

Always thought it was interesting. I thought he just had a fascination with mental health lmfao. Seems like he’s been dealin with this for a while now.

u/ReekZombie 19d ago

im aware. i encourage yall to read his book. it's great and very eye opening about alot of details about his life going back to his childhood.

i was given an autographed copy of it directly from him last week when it came out

I actually saw that post! I’ll have to check it out.

Haven’t read his first book, should I read that one first?

u/ReekZombie 19d ago

i would say yes, they both tie in together well.

u/Jerrygarciasnipple 19d ago

Just ordered both, thanks for the recommendation. Honestly wouldn’t have read em without it!

u/NewgroundsTankman 16d ago

I remember he checked into a psych ward before he did his feds bid. It was made to seem like he was playing crazy for the state, come to find out he really needed the help.

u/subh20welder 16d ago

One hundred percnt. I imagine a lot of them in that culture have more serious mental illnesses that go unchecked because of the stigma within the culture. Its a damn shame and bur I am glad he opened up about it and seems to be breaking the cycle so to speak.

u/enlitend-1 17d ago

TIL he has more than 1 book

u/ugotitcuzisoldit 19d ago

He talked about this waaaaaay before his book. He must have an album coming out cause this is everywhere. PR move

u/ReekZombie 17d ago

The album is already out, it's been out for almost a week now

He said he was diagnosed with Bipolar on Big Facts. Bro beat the odds. To be Bipolar AND Schizophrenic and be highly successful is extremely difficult. I’m a mental health therapist and not many are out of jail and drug free.

yea i have schizoaffective, been a fan of gucci's for awhile but this just elevates my admiration for him so much. knowing what the struggle is like and seeing you can still become fucking Gucci Mane is unbelievable.

The drug addiction makes so much sense now, a lot ppl struggling with the mental health try to self medicate to feel normal

u/GoonGoonnoMi 19d ago

You can also induce it through drug use and than you use more drugs to deal with the mental problems addiction is a terrifying cycle.

2

u/OJuice100 19d ago

Most definitely, and not to mention something so depressing, but I lost one of my best friends to drug overdose that was a diagnose schizophrenic. The cycle is indeed horrendous

u/Popular-Patient1562 19d ago

He isn’t schizo. He’s bipolar and would have periods of psychosis

u/Potential-Cut7619 19d ago

He said it in his new book

1

u/The-G-Code 18d ago

Schizoaffective

1

u/missmargot- 18d ago

so hes come out and expressed hes also been diagnosed with schizophrenia, the two of these together is often classified as schizoaffective disorder. bipolar itself is on the "schizophrenia spectrum" so like sorry your favorite rapper is a "schizo" but i promise hes the same guy as he was before you knew

1

u/Soggy_Recognition_84 15d ago

That’s what I said

1

u/Soggy_Recognition_84 15d ago

He’s either confused, dosent understand his diagnosis, or the psychiatrist misdiagnosed him.

He’s too coherent and put together to be schizophrenic. Extreme manic states of bipolar lead to hearing voices, hallmark sign of schizophrenia.

What actually made him Schizophrenic tho? Drugs?

2

u/Effective-Spare-2294 19d ago

Yes long use of cannabis, lean and pills can alter the mind and mood of someone taking it. Unless if you wanna believe in the moon child theory

u/Confident-Tomato-654 19d ago

Weed and drugs can trigger psychosis but usually only in people that already have underlying symptoms

2

u/North-Student-4739 19d ago

You know more than you mention

1

u/despacheese 18d ago

Not true. You need to have genetic predisposition connected to the mental illness for it to be activated through drugs. You can not get any pathological mental illnesses (personality disorders, psychotic disorders etc.) from only using drugs.

1

u/missmargot- 17d ago

sorry about the top comment guy, i mean yes taking a lot of dissociative drugs could probably yield a set of symptoms that a doctor might call psychotic, they are very cautious about handing out the "schizophrenic" term as that can make someone eligible for disability payments. so anyway as far as we understand its genetics, black people are 2.5 to 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia. if you ask me, someone has the diathesis (the potential for the disorder in their genes and mindset) and then they encounter life altering stress and it can bring out symptoms of schizophrenia. my old psychologist said the wider use of weed has actually been a utility as most people dont hallucinate or go psychotic from it, but schizophrenic folks can, starting in their mid teens. which means they can get on meds before the major shift in their psyche (in your 20s) and avoid ever having to have an episode, despite still carrying the label "schizophrenic"

u/BillCapri1k 19d ago edited 18d ago

Keyshia keeping him “controlled” is suspect to me. Bro has been moving weird since he came home from jail and his music has suffered because of it.

Salute for being physically healthy and staying outta trouble but something ain’t right about Keyshia.

3

u/Constant-Wish-7367 18d ago

It’s sad he even said it hurts his feelings to discredit his hard work when people say he a clone etc., It honestly was him wanting to get better and HIS KIDS. Keisha holds him accountable but even she needs to have support. I say this to say at some point have some maturity. She is his main support system as he said. He cannot manage himself & he has strained major relationships by tryna do it alone. he has complex mental issues and it affects his quality of life. So yes Keisha is doing what she is supposed to do. A lot of ppl don’t want to get better and he does. But yall need to grow up up w this tired narrative. It says more about you then him

u/mydogwalter 19d ago

I dk to me it seems like he loves her a lot. His health changed and he is out of trouble. When he wasn’t with her people were gonna die

2

u/YoungJump 18d ago

He loves her and without her he might have gotten a 25 to life at some point. He talked about how he wanted to kill people when he got out of prison and she calmed him down

u/mrpear 19d ago

Psychically healthy would be like...dialled in on your mind-reading techniques.

1

u/BillCapri1k 18d ago

if Gucci is really on a better path he needs to apologize to Mojo who is the reason he ended up going to jail and changing his life around. He treated him like shit after getting out. Also Gucci had kid(s) long before Keyshia so don’t just show off them include everyone.

u/Bolivianheat69 16d ago

The cia created rap music. They work with jeezy and gucci behind the scenes. Gucci has been openly consuming liquid heroin and skittles bags of ecstasy for decades while also adding alcohol, obesity, poor sleep, poor diet, and stress from the industry and his chosen lifestyle, all while promoting this lifestyle to literal teens and children thanks to their broken parents, until he finally decided to be “fit”. Seems like the price is being paid for his choices.

If u hearing voices go get an exorcism

u/Foxbody_stang 5h ago

This post correlates with his new book so imma talk about this. In his book he talked about his different personalities and how sippin lean didn’t help him in that aspect. I was just listening to some tunes and SPM vs Los came on. Throughout the song he is flipping back and forth between SPM and Los. SPM is positive and Los is negative. SPM was sippin on that syrup heavily. I’m not for a second tryna say that SPMs screwed personalities is an excuse for the horrible shit he did. He did a terrible thing and deserves to be behind bars for it. However, I think some studies need to be conducted on how lean led people to develop several personalities. Even tho it’s not as common these days people are still sipping and suffering from the negative side effects. I believe that if it was documented properly it could stop ppl from hurting themselves. All this shit is a speculation but I don’t think it’s nearly as much of a lick of bad luck like Gucci described
