Kanye West has been confirmed to be suffering from paranoia and profoundly depressed, and he's been dealing with these issues for a long time, according to sources.


TMZ was told "after Kanye was taken to the hospital Monday he was convinced people were out to get him, including the doctors who were caring for him. For a time he wouldn't even let the doctors touch him.

"The paranoia has been building for months, obviously going way beyond the stated reasons for the hospitalization, dehydration and exhaustion.

"The plan is getting him home Monday and under the care of his personal doctor, but it's too early to know if that will happen," the website said.
