Delta Burke Checked Into Clinic For Depression

"Extra” has new information about Delta Burke’s reported decision to check into a psych ward. “Extra” has learned that Burke periodically checks herself into a clinic to adjust her medication for depression.

The "Designing Women" star, 51, is allegedly seeking help in her battle against depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, a battle she's opened up to "Extra" about in the past.

“We all have our burdens and our trials,” she told us in 2002. "I talk a lot more about the depression and the panic attacks because I feel people are really suffering with that.”

Delta's decision to check herself in was first reported by TMZ.com.

I have battled with anxiety and depression my whole life. It’s so painful both emotionally and physically. To describe it to someone is difficult. I’m glad Delta has the courage to talk about it. It’s comforting to know that we’re not alone in this illness and that people are trying to find a solution.

Hi Delta, You have everything to live for and I am glad to see that you have not given up on yourself. My husband and sister suffer from depression and I have in the past. One thing I would like to mention to you is try a product like Reliv. It is working great for my husband and my sister is getting ready to try it in a few days when it arrives. I hope you get this letter so you can think about trying something that will make you feel better on the inside where it counts. I would hate to see the day when you are no longer on TV, because your beauty is not just on the outside and we need more people like you in Hollywood. Thanks for listening. Kathy
