Gucci Mane & Keyshia Ka’oir Get Candid About Managing His Schizophrenia & Bipolar Challenges

Gucci Mane and his wife Keyshia Ka’oir are pulling back the curtain on what it takes to navigate life with mental health challenges.

Full story below…

In a new Breakfast Club interview, the couple spoke openly about Gucci’s bipolar and schizophrenia diagnoses, topics he also explores in his new memoir ‘Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man.’

Speaking on how she manages his episodes, Ka’oir shared:

“I have a system, I take his apps off his phone. First thing I do, I delete Instagram. I delete everything. Even if I gotta change his password, I’m changing it because I don’t need the public to know he’s having an episode. I control that. You’re not going on Instagram, you’re not going on Twitter, it’s deleted. I control everything at home. Now, before the episodes come, I catch it. That’s why he hasn’t had another one. How you catch it is he doesn’t speak to you, he wants to be left alone, he don’t eat, he does not sleep. Text messages, there’s a period after each word.”

Gucci reflected on his motivation for wanting to get help, admitting:

“I don’t want to raise a family, and then my mental health is gone. What if I have an episode I can’t come back from? So I just started to do the work, started seeking the help.”
