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.

32. Britney needs to find a good doctor and be checked from her hair follicles to her toenails eleminate the physical first then the mental..She did have two children so close together....seems Dr. Phil , Lynne her Mom and Cedars Hospital have closed the door on Britney ever trusting enough to open up after that episode of Dr. Phil showing up without Britney's permission...and its a shame...This girl who seemed so wacky and thumbing her nose at the judge is so needy of someone who just cares about her and not out to see what they can get out of her..She needs to move as far away from Hollywood and all its plastic people ASAP before she looses herself anymore...she is a human being so while we are human let us remain humane...

34. All brit needs is a good nutrionist and to throw all the prescription meds away. They are poison poison poison. Her doctors are lying to her that she needs addaral or anything else. She's fine the way she is and needs to find people that know that and surround herself with them. It's the prescription drugs that make people lose it. Have y'all seen the black box warning on the bottels?? I mean COME ON!!! May cause sucide.... And our doctors are giving it to us??? WHAT THE HELL???

36. This is ultimately very sad. And the only people who truly suffer from all this caos is her kids. All they know is they love there mom and want to be with her. I wish she would take whatever help is extended to her, to get herself together. I don't know how many of us would be "normal" after having a life sytle that she has since she was very young and impressionable. I think having kids for her was her way of trying to have some normalcy in her life, but then it is a lot of work, the kind that she is not used to, (what new parent is?) She really needs to go away for a while, some place safe, where she can get the help she needs, and the paps, need to let her go! Pleeease! And then maybe she can be the kind of mom she knows she should be because it is not about her anymore, it should be about the kids!!!

41. I feel bad for her and her boys. Her mom, dad and siblings are xxxked up which attributes to her being xxxked up.
Hollywood/LA is majorly xxxked up.
She definitely needs help and I hope she gets it soon.
Those poor boys. The cycle continues. They'll be messed up because both their parents are messed up.
K-Fed is looking good right now only because he's on his best behavior, but he's far from father of the year.

42. I am not a Brittany fan but I am so worried for her children. I am an adult survivor who watched her mother break down and after multiple suicide attempts, and was finally hospitalized. Since she waited too long she was in and out for most of my childhood life and I never truly had a mom. I still wear my scars and am licking the wounds caused from the nightmare I called my life because of her troubles. These scars have made it hard for me to learn how to trust and I spent most my life in survival mode.

Brittany’s children will be the ones to suffer and their suffering will be passed on to their children and so on. She needs help now, before her kids are old enough to remember and be affected by her behavior, and trust me they will. Please before it’s too late! I still have nightmares about visiting her and can almost still feel the knot in my stomach I would get out of fear when she would come home and how long it would be before I found her dead.

Help her now or make sure she never sees her children again this is the babies lives we are talking about now! And Dr. Phil, shame on you.

43. She feels like she has too much to lose if she gets help. Once she takes the road to normalcy - no more cameras! And let's face it, that's the only reason why she's still famous. She's too haggard to ever make a come back and whether or not she even has any talent remains to be seen.

She's done.

44. PROLONGING HOSPITALIZATION IS NOT GOING TO HELP. I WORK IN A MHMR FACILITY AND CLIENTS WHO HAVE MENTAL ILLNESS NEED MEDICATION OR THEY ARE A DANGER TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. IT IS A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE. IT IS OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE BUT HER THAT SHE HAS SOME KIND OF MENTAL PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. SHE IS IN DENIAL AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR HER KIDS UNTIL SHE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED. THERE ARE TOO MANY CASES WHERE UNSTABLE MOTHERS HAVE ACTUALLY KILLED THEIR KIDS. IF SHE EVER WANTS TO SEE HER KIDS AGAIN SHE WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. I'M SURPRISED SHE DIDN'T DO SOMETHING TO THE KID SHE HAD IN THE CLOSET.

45. i am afraid that if someone in her family does not go to court and have her commited she is going to KILL herself cause she lost her whole life her marriage , her career ,now her Kids . The only thing she has left to lose ppl is her life and mark my words without prof help she is going to KILL herself one day, then her family will be sorry for not getting her the help she needs . Brittney pls pls go and get the help u need so u can get well .
