Britney Finally Gets Help for 'Mental Issues'


Britney Spears has finally decided to seek help.

In what could be a turning point in her custody battle, her "manager" Sam Lufti called Barbara Walters on "The View" this morning and said Brit is getting treatment for "mental issues which are treatable."

Barbara reported that Brit has been having trouble sleeping and was suffering from "mood swings," but that she's finally talking to her estranged mom, Lynne, again.

X17online.com reported that Brit visited a psychiatrist on Friday afternoon.

Brit, 26, has reportedly been ordered by the judge in her custody case to seek help, or else. Her family is reportedly trying to get Brit medical attention for what could be bipolar disorder, but Brit has resisted any form of treatment.

After Friday's session, Brit apparently decided she needed a little retail therapy - at Hustler. The starlet was snapped looking at adult magazines and dancing in the aisles.

All you people who keep saying leave her alone need to take a good look at yourself! If you don’t like what is being said about her on Extra, then why are you watching it and coming out to this site to read about it?

I don’t understand some of thes stars (like Brittany) who have major problems with the paparazzi. They want to be seen. Have you noticed that there are stars that are popular that you don’t see a whole lot of. It is because they don’t crave that attention. I do believe Brittany needs major intervention.

Britney is lonely,lost and since her career is on the downside, getting a Divorce and now losing her boys she drives around day and night. If she stayed home and had her people shop and bring her what she needs the daily chases would be less.(I read her picture brings the most money of all Hollywood stars.)I believe she should go somewhere get some treatment, clear her head and maybe all the world will not focus so much on her “antics.”

God bless Britney. It is obvious she is hurting/struggling no matter what the reason.
I was in Hustler on Sunday 1/27 and she was not looking at adult magazines or dancing in the aisles. Nor did she have that outfit on in this picture. The Press add what they want to the story to make it better. A mother of 3 adult girls myself,seeing her having to go through all this makes me want to hug her and help her & let her know things are going to be ok. I’ll Pray for her as I hope others will too.
If she is bipolar god bless her & when she gets help she will be ok.
Those who judge, be thankful if you are healty you never know what could happen to you!

Everyone who says, “Leave Britney alone!” is a hypocrite. You obviously are reading the online stories posted about Britney and therefore you are fueling the fire. If you don’t want people exploiting this poor girl, stop reading celeb sites, stop buying magazines, and don’t watch the TV shows that exploit her every day.

She likes the photogs following her everywhere otherwise she would not leave her house all of the time at every hour, she would get her assistant to do all of her errands.

I think it is great that she is seeking help and I think all these entertainment shows and magazines need to right now decide together that you will not post anything about her that is negative…like the previous post said..who cares where she is shopping leave her alone to get through this….negativity is hard to get out of but it can start with you guys…post only the good about her and the support that you are giving her…nobody knows if she has bipolar…maybe she just has a depression and is lost ….no one is perfect…stop making up things…post the truth…..LEAVE HER ALONE….i pray that all that suffer from a mental illness can make it out and find themselves and the happiness that we all deserve…….may GOD be with all of us…

This is what annoys me… She obviously is seeking help which Extra pointed out “suprisingly”, but lets not leave it at that, lets dangle brits sanitly by a string, and add that she was shopping at Hustler. Who freaken cares Extra where she is shopping. Focus on the real story you money hungry vultures!!!
