![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 ...

If they can catch her that is..according to x17, she just took off in a plane from Van Nuys airport with Adnan.
The County as a guardian is bad news for all involved. Someone in her family needs to step up to the plant
Not that it is any of our business......but good luck! My sister-in-law has bi-polar and has have far more episodes and way more severe episodes than we have ever seen or heard of Britney having and she has been in and out of psycological and substance abuse facilities and 5150 holds and never has she been held more than 24 hours and has yet to stay for the total duration of her rehab periods and we have never been able to commit her involuntarily.....had to be voluntary........
It's tragic that the system is so broken. My uncle is currently drinking himself to death, and there is not a damn thing those of us who love him can do but watch him slowly die. It's extremely difficult to have someone declared incompetent or a danger to themselves.
Isn't this what they did to Natalie Cole. Her mother went to the courts and got control of all her assets and her son and Natalie had to go for treatment.
Hope they can pull this off, or Britney will be dead before very long.
So WHY are YOU BLABBING your lips and letting her know whats cooking.......This is either a LIE or you have OVER STEPPED YOUR BOUNDRIES! AGAIN! AS ALWAYS! THE STORY OVER THE PERSON'S PRIVACY! I'm not a Britney supporter by ANY means......I hope she crashes and burns.......BUT, you all are nothing but MAGGOTS!!!!!!!
Fabulous K Fed & attorneys loves this - have the neoliberal fem under lock & key while he has her zillions $$$ for continual action with a new posse of fabulous beautiful young babes!
If I made $700,000 a month and spent it driving around aimlessly like a fat loon, people would start thinking I was overboard.
I have a $500 death pool bet on Britney.
ta!
#31...was just gonna say the same thing...bet ya thats why she took off??

Is this something that you should be POSTING? I mean, what if she reads it or someone tells her about it? The girl needs help, no publicity. And not (as many of these posts show) RIDICULE!
"Yeah. let's see how long she stays in this time. "
If she's "involuntarily" committed, she will be in a LOCKED facility.
She may be crazy but...
... I bet she's crazy and hot in Bed ....
I'D DO HER !!!!!
YUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Britney, I know it may seem as if your family is taking control of your life but your family are trying to save your life! Please volunteer to go into the hospital yourself but do it for YOU and your sons. Don't go to do it for everyone else because then you will not really heal. I wish you success in what ever happens and I wish you a good and long life to watch your sons grow up. I am continuing my prayers for you and your family, may 2008 be the year you turn your life back around and get the help you need right now. Good Luck Britney!
