As more updates about Kanye West‘s condition and time in the hospital after a rough few weeks are being reported, we are starting to see the reason why his “breakdown” happened.

Sources very close to Kanye explained that he was increasingly being more and more agitated in the weeks leading up to his hospitalization. A shocking lack of sleep, the pressures of touring, running his businesses, parenting and providing emotional to his wife after her own emotional trauma after the Paris robbery contributed to his stress.

But sources state the trigger for the breakdown was his mother’s death in November 2007. Her funeral was November 20 — the same day he cancelled his show at the L.A. Forum. The following day — November 21 — Kanye cancelled the remainder of the tour and hours later suffered the breakdown.

People close to Kanye tell us he never effectively grieved over his mom’s death and has always had a difficult time in November, but this time he reached the breaking point. The latest reports say that Kanye was becoming paranoid when he was taken to UCLA Medical for treatment.

Refusing for a time to even let doctors touch him. He also ranted that people were trying to ruin his marriage.

Kanye is being treated by doctors and mental health professionals and no new release date for Kanye has been reported.

We will update you as this story develops.
