Celebrity Justice
Brit Off to a Mental Hospital?

Sources tell TMZ the "responsible" people in Britney's life are trying to convince her to voluntarily enter a mental hospital.

We're told there's now a consensus -- she'll never get custody of her kids unless she undergoes intensive, in-patient treatment for what appears to be a severe bipolar disorder. But we're told Spears is resisting and does not want to enter a hospital.

And sources say that since her release from Cedars, Brit has "pulled it together, at least on the surface." She is coherent and engaged, but will not voluntarily enter a mental facility -- at least for now.

16. I think Courtney Love is correct...she IS popping too many adderol pills. I looked up the drug and her behavior is listed in the side effects list. This is a drug that would not be a red flag for drug testing since she has a prescription for it.

19. Doesn't matter if she gets her kids back or not. She'll just go out and get pregnant again and again if she wants another baby. She's white trash Britney Spears ya'll! Between her and her lil sis, there'll be babies all over the place. Sean and Jayden belong with their daddy (the only parent that really gives a $hit about them).

20. Too many drugs for too long can cause a variety of symptoms. They tried (unsuccessfully) to institutionalize her. I think she's able to come up for air just enough to be coherent...then starts popping pills again. She needs to get rid of all those new creepy friends she's met. Poor thing. Her idea of what is normal is so messed up right now, I don't think she knows which end is up. I wonder how much longer she wants to go on like this? How much can a person take? I guess we'll see.

21. NOW it is time for the Cedas Sinai to apologise to Britney. Because of the indiscretion of their stuff a lot of gossip about how Britney behaved behind their walls has come out into the media. I am not surprised Britney is refusing any kind of institutional help. That all has done a huge damage to her view on psycological and psycriatrical help.

She need to fins and accept a very sincere and competent clinic somewhere on this planet. Thank God money is not an issue for her.

22. Ok..........Britney did not test positive for drugs or alcohol. Now is the time to have K-Fed tested for everything.......why has he not been ordered to do so before now? I believe he is solely to blame for the downfall of Britney.....what a sleeze! I realize Britney needs help but why does HE have the children????????? He is pushing her to insanity in order to get money from her because he cannot support himself.....

23. Most mothers would do anything for her kids. She is not insane, so therfore she can make the decesion to get help, but since she chooses not to, then she doesnt deserve her kids. I have compassion for her, because she is bi-polar, but she can get help for it. Most people with a mental illness, would get help if they could, and especially for the sake of their children.

Now, she has lost me, and she appears to be a spoiled, selfish person.

24. Well Duhhh! I thought that is what has been going on for a while now! Perhaps Dr. Jon Adams can help.

25. This could be the career-ender we were all expecting last time. She needs treatment for a LONG time.

26. Oh brother! What I know about the Biopolar disorder IS DENIAL DENIAL! As I said before, My cousin has a bipoloar disorder. I recommend for her to be forced to go the closest Camarillo Mental State Hospital in Camariilo, California. I have passed there many times. It is not far from Mailbu,her home near the Pacific Highway. Only 25 minutes away!

27. So the hospital claims no drugs or alcohol, but she is seen partying all the time? In fact, someone else reported the very next morning after being released she was in Palm Springs with her new Boyfriend drinking mimosas. She should be forcibly committed, forcibly medicated, ad never allowed to see those children again!

Posted at 11:58AM on Jan 7th 2008 by Britney should never see those kids again

28. I guess she doesn't want her kids bad enough - she should have never had those babies!

29. Britney's PIMP MOTHER, CEDAR SINI HOSPITAL, & DR. PHIL should GO TO JAIL!!! How can that B*tch mother of hers send Dr. Phil to have a television intervention with her??? I would go CRAZY if someone sent that IMBICILE DR PHIL to see me in the hospital too. DON'T COMMIT YOURSELF TO A LOONEY BIN BRITT! Just tell your SOB MOTHER to COMMIT HERSELF!! She is the crazy one...look what she did to Britney and Jamie Lynn. She is nothing more than a PIMP who WHORES OT HER DAUGHTERS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER! GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS BRITNEY!

30. Hopefully a competent court will take the kids away from the entire family group, including Federline, and place them in adoption with a really GREAT family!

Give them a chance!
