Psychology experts are weighing in on whether Kim Kardashian should moderate Kanye West’s relationship with their four kids amid his mental health struggles and many public scandals — including his frequent antisemitic screeds. The debate is central to “TMZ Investigates: Kanye West: Unhinged But Unstoppable,” airing Monday at 9 p.m. ET on Fox. The special seeks to address whether Kardashian can deny West access to their kids — if she deems that necessary — or if she should even be allowed to have that power. “For Kim, I think that she would try to make sure that her kids understand that some o......

An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot’s alleged midair sabotage attempt of a Horizon Air flight from Seattle to San Francisco on Sunday — and the pilot’s later admission that he had been depressed — highlights the major concerns that pilot mental health poses to the airline industry. It was an issue that came to international attention when a Germanwings copilot in 2015 locked the captain out of the cockpit midflight and deliberately dove their Airbus into the French Alps, killing all 150 aboard. At that time, the FAA reviewed and revised its mental health policies for flight crews. But experts sa......

Oliver Anthony, the viral musician whose hit song still sits atop the Billboard Hot 100, sat down with Joe Rogan for an hourslong interview that covered politics, porn, mental health and much more. Many assumed the lyrics in Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” — which discuss “minors on an island” and people abusing welfare — denoted a Republican mindset, but Anthony has since tried to separate himself from any political affiliation.

But opponents warn that the plan, which is meant to secure more housing for homeless residents diagnosed with mental illnesses, will have unintended consequences for those se......

PONTIAC, Mich. — Prosecutor Karen McDonald said she will never forget having to show Madisyn Baldwin's mother the video of how she died at Oxford High School. The 16-year-old's instinct when faced with Ethan Crumbley holding a gun and shooting her classmates was to crouch to the ground in a fetal position and put her hands over her head. He shot her at point blank range. Madisyn was the seventh person the then-15-year-old shot in the hallways at Oxford High School in November 2021. He shot four more after her.

PONTIAC, Mich. — A forensic psychiatrist who met with the teen accused of fatally shooting four students at Oxford High School in November 2021 contends he did not meet the criteria for psychosis or other major mental health disorders.
