![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
TMZ has learned family members and professionals in Britney's life are working as a team to get her mental help -- either voluntarily or involuntarily -- for treatment of what appears to be a severe bipolar disorder.
We're told it's going to happen one way or the other, and fast. So far, Britney refuses to commit herself voluntarily, but the team is persisting.
Sources say they are considering "a number of options," some of which are "creative."
The most extreme option -- going to court and getting an order forcing Britney into in-patient treatment. That would be the last ditch effort.
If involuntary commitment is the only option, Brit must be picked up by cops -- again -- on a "5150," meaning she's a danger to herself or others. Then, while she's in the hospital, health care professionals can go to the County Public Guardian, who can then go to court and ask for what's called a "conservatorship." The conservator would then basically assume control of Brit's life.
If the judge grants the conservatorship, Brit could be involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. Again, that's not the only option and various alternatives are being discussed right now.
Stay tuned ...

THIS IS CRAZY NOT BRITNEY!! THE WOMAN IS NOT MENTALLY ILL. SHE IS SAD BECAUSE HER STUPID LOSER POOR ASS GOLD DIGGIN X HUSBAND RUINED HER GREAT LIFE SHE WAS HAVING AND NOW HAS TAKEN AWAY HER BABIES.
SHE IS NOT BIPOLAR. GOING TO GAS STATIONS AND HOTELS DOES NOT MAKE HER BIPOLAR; IT MEANS SHE IS BORED.
GET RID OF KEVIN FEDERLINES NO GOOD WHITE TRASH ASS AND YOU WILL SEE A REMARKABLE CHANGE IN THIS WOMAN FOR THE GOOD.
A USA 'mental hospital' is the last place to trust!
Get her highly skilled private professional assistance - avoid USA 'healthcare' at all costs!
Palm Springs or Scottsdale for example in the winter!
The light has gone out of this young woman's eyes and that is tragic and difficult to see. She is struggling with internal and EXTERNAL demons that none of us can know - all the while the media vultures circle just overhead waiting for the paparazzi hyenas to bring her down like a weakened animal. She needs help and support from her family, everyone's prayers and a freakin' break from all the scavengers and hanger-ons surrounding her. I hope she gets the help she needs before she ends up a victim of MEDIACIDE like Anna Nicole or Princess Diana.
Fed-X bought Britney a GUN for her birthday? Wow. That's romantic!
I HOPE BRITNEY'S FAMILY MEMBERS DO WHAT THEY CAN DO TO GET HELP FOR WHAT EVER IS WRONG WITH HER..SHE IS EITHER GOING TO HURT HERSELF, POSSIBLY SUICIDE AND POSSIBLY FIND A WAY TO TAKE THEM WITH HER...REMEMBERING JIM JONES FOLLOWERS WHO DRANK IS KOOL AID DRINK!!
I THINK THEY SHOULD TAKE THE STRONGER STEPS IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE HER ARRESTED ON THE 5150, GET A COUNTY PUBLICAN GUARDIAN, GO BEFORE THE JUDGE AND GET THE CONSERVATORSHIP..I ONLY SAY THIS BECAUSE I CARE FOR HER AND JUST WANT HER TO GET BETTER FOR HER AND HER KIDS SAKE..
If there was ever a need to have someone involuntarily committed, this is it. At last, the family appears to have garnered the courage to save their daughter's life!
CORRECTION TO COMMENT #23..WHAT I MEANT TO SAY WAS THAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER COMMITTING SUICIDE AND FINDING A WAY TO TAKE THE CHILDREN ALONG WITH HER..
Slow news night guys??? The key ingredient "being of a danger to herself or others" isn't likely to hold up unless / until she:
- tries to commit suicide
- tries to go after Kevin or the boys
(I think the judge will be ok if she goes after "Dr" Phil)
Speculation, much
X-17 is reporting that Britney and her Photoman Adnan just flew out of Ca..wonder where they are going ????
Brit is not Bi polar...She is classic borderline personality...and until she is properly diagnosed, she will not get the help she needs!
Hey TMZ! X17 says Twit and PapSmear have jumped on a private jet and left for unknown destination! You're behind! What's your take on this story?
Silver Hill Hospital in Conn. is excellent for psychiatric illnesses. Far away from La La-land and dr. phil's fat ass. Good luck brit..meds can help.
This is so perfect for me & Mr. Federline [as his esteemed counsel] - soon we will have her in a mental institute under lock & key - while we are securing her $100 millions in assets 'for the kids'!
And isn't that perfect for TMZ fan Dem fems - ha ha ha ha ha! Thanks TMZ!
