- Rapper Gucci Mane has disclosed his diagnoses of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in his new book, Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man.

- Mane described experiencing a “psychosis” with auditory hallucinations and giving away personal belongings during these episodes.
- He decided to seek professional help, including therapy and medication, after a significant episode in 2020, identifying drug use, stress and lack of sleep as triggers.
