We are hearing from multiple sources that Britney Spears is throwing a fit on the 7th floor of Cedars-Sinai. She is demanding to leave, screaming at the staff, will not lie or sit still, we're told.
From all indications, she is being held on a 5150, which means she is a danger to herself and others. Typically, people in that situation can be held for 72 hours against their will.
We have also been told she has pulled her IV out and is generally out of control. Another source at the hospital tells TMZ she could be heard yelling at various staffers and she was described by nurses as being "difficult."

I think everyone needs to be nice and realize that if she does suffer from bipolar, it is a disease and yes she should want to get help for her kids, but her brain is telling her something different. What if this was your daughter, sister, wife, mother??
I am just saying!!!

A diagnosis of Bi-Polar Disorder has come to cover a vast multitude of bad behaviors. Until you convince me otherwise, I still call SBS - Spoiled Brat Syndrome.

When she goes to Starbucks, she's fair game. But can't the poor girl at least have some privacy when she's on the psych ward? I am bipolar and I'm dismayed by all the derogatory remarks being made about someone who is obviously mentally ill. You're not just hurting Britney - you're hurting everyone who's ever suffered from mental illness.

If she really has some sort of bi-polar disorder, why is it just now coming out? Her marriage to Federline with the kids seemed good. After their split is when everything started falling apart? She has been in the public eye for a long time. I do not buy that it is a mental disorder. She looked dazed in the pics. One laughing, one crying, one...looking scared. She had to be on something. Why is someone in her family not staying with her? Where are her friends? She seems alone. And is probably resorting to drugs for comfort. But, all that does is cause more problems.

I BET IT IS SYPHILIS!!!!! The last stage of syphilis (tertiary syphilis) is characterized by lesions to the central nervous system, among other things, causing schizophrenia.
General paresis, otherwise known as general paresis of the insane, is a severe manifestation of neurosyphilis. It is a chronic dementia which ultimately results in death in as little as 2-3 years. Patients generally have progressive personality changes, memory loss, and poor judgment. More rarely, they can have psychosis, depression, or mania.

Federal Law protects health information for everyone.
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/consumer_summary.pdf
If you hare hearing something about any patient you should not report on it as it is against the law to share this information and you then are a willing participant.
There is NO WAY to confirm it because if you could it would be illegal.
SHAME ON YOU.
