Celebrity Justice
Britney's Bipolar Treatment Plan

TMZ has learned the general nature of the medical intervention for Britney Spears.
Britney Spears
As we first reported, Britney is suffering from some sort of bipolar disorder. For months, Commissioner Scott Gordon has repeatedly ordered her to undergo psychological tests, but she has not complied.

Brit's divorce lawyers have devised a plan to get Brit into treatment. Sources now say it's outpatient treatment that would allow professionals to "evaluate and treat" her condition.

We're told Britney is "receptive" to the idea, but it's not a done deal. If it happens, the process will start imminently.

226. I don't care how it happens or when it happens. Just leave her alone and let us know when it's safe to roam the streets of LA again. I'm sick of reading the same thing paraphrased differently every single day.

227. It is sad that people that get messed up from Drugs want to call it BiPolar. I think she has damage from too many Drugs. In a lot of areas kids that get messed up on Meth suffer serious brain damage. She needs to get away from her DRUG infested friends and go to Drug Theraphy. Meth can damage brain cells.

228. I dont feel sorry for her one bit. She doesnt want to help herself. She doesnt love her boys. If she did, she would be at every court hearing actually fighting for custody and visitation. She sets herself up for everything that happens. She is a spoiled brat who needs a reality check. She needs to take a good long look at herself and grow the hell up. Its time to be an adult.

230. I'm sorry, but I have bipolar/manic depressive order. And, I'M NOT THAT CRAZY!!!!!!

I did go through a few years of wild life, drugs, partying in my 20's too. And that was to mask the problems that I didn't know what was wrong with me.

But after getting treatment, I'm okay. I'm not running around acting like that. She definitely needs to see a shrink, but no one can make her.

She doesn't seem to want any help.

231. BRITNEY is Obviously Suffering from a Bi-Polar disorder.I have been saying it for the last 2 uears.If she is self medicating with illicit drugs it is to get respite from this condition,but it is not they way to handle it.Her parents are doing her no good with their antics.
If she gets the right medicine she will only get better and if she doesn't try it .she will only be fooolingb herself.
I am not saying she is a Bad Person,because she is not.It takes 6 months for treatment to show any improvement so the sooner she starts the better,
Papparazzia can do her a favour and give her some breathing space for a change.

233. Why is everyone overlooking the REAL issue here-- she is an ALCOHOLIC/ADDICT--once an addict, always an addict--look at her face--that is a dead sign of drug abuse--either crystal meth or some sort of opiate/benzo--and her behavior is classic. Take it from one who knows--Im a recovering alcoholic w/9yrs sober, and my husband is a recovering drug addict w/10 yrs sober--Ive been there, done that--seen it--lived it. I wish I could be her mother for just 1 day--no one has ever told her the truth about herself--and she needs that--badly!!!!

234. There is nothing wrong with her at all and she is doing all of this just to stay in the spotlight. She can't make any movies and she can't sing. I think her next movement is to start walking on Hollywood Blvd. That is where she belongs and she should stay. When you do really love your kids you would walk through hell and back for them. She doesn't want to be a mom. She just cares all about herself. The kids are just in her way, oh yeah woman watch out ,Remember she does like to go after other womans husbands and boyfriends. See this is how this world works. We lost Heath Ledger and now we still her Britney. Can we make a change and keep him.

235. Good Lord. OUT patient? Yeah, what's a little treatment between daily swings.

236. people need to leave her alone because she to me is under stress and what she need to do is settle down and leave the state for a while and relax and dont be in the spot light so much because I getting tired of hearing about her and her court stuff

237. I have never posted like this, but I just couldn't help myself. I have no sympathy for Britney and I am really happy that they got those babies away from this train wreck. I don't care if she is bipolar or just plan nuts, they are better off. And I pray that the courts give her ex lots more child support than she pays now. She will not get better, even if she is treated because she doesn't have to. If she wanted those kids, she would have long ago got her act together. The media goes back and forth with this poor Britney needs help. Oh, those poor babies need their mommy! Bull. They don't need that and they will adjust just fine without her, probably better. Good luck Daddy and kids.

238. I'm so tired of Britney. Bipolar disorder is looking more and more like an excuse for irresponsibility and neglect.

239. Note to Complexity - We're simply scrolling past your passages at this point and No one is listening so let it go already. FYI
