If you think Britney Spears doesn't give a crap about getting help for her condition, think again.
Multiple sources tell TMZ Britney has seen numerous doctors. We know that she's seen a new psychiatrist who has come to her home every day this week and that she's on medication to treat her bipolar disease. We also know doctors have indeed concluded she suffers from bipolarity.
Britney has seen doctors who have been referred by other doctors, plus doctors who have been referred by celebrities Britney knows, and doctors referred by her lawyers, family and friends. We're told the process has been excruciating for her, partly because her disease is severe.
Sources tell slightly different stories about the efficacy of the medication. A friend says when Britney takes her medicine she is like "a different person -- normal and sweet." But she takes her meds for a while and then feels as if she can live without it -- so she stops taking them -- and her condition quickly deteriorates. But a professional tells TMZ flatly, "The medication just isn't working."
That same professional tells TMZ, "She's really trying. Whether it works -- we'll have to see." That person also says it's extremely frustrating when the media shows video of Britney out on the town acting crazy, adding, "She has a disease. Sometimes when you see her she's in the middle of an episode. It's like mocking someone with Down Syndrome."

yay brit!!! come back and be normal a while and make these asses eat their words!
Typically Bipolar....take your meds for awhile, get better, then figure you don't need them. They love that Manic high, its like a drug, but then it gets out of hand, then they crash.
Whatever!!!! Please, she doesn't want her kids and by mocking a severe disease she now has an excuse. She's a horrible mother, if she truly was bipolar, than she would take her meds and realize without them she is crazy and not stop taking them. It's nothing to be ashamed of for taking pills when sick. She is a spoiled little brat who did not get everything she wanted and now she is looking for an excuse. BS!!! Any doctor who is given enough money will BS a medical condition for her. What happend to her multpile persaonlities? Right, she is full of bologna!!!!
I don't buy this but if this is true maybe her parents should stop her from making a total fool out of herself everday!
I heard it can take a month for the medications to kick in. Don't expect a miracle in a week.
"...Sometimes when you see her she's in the middle of an episode..." She's ALWAYS in the middle of an episode. She should stay home and take care of herself or she'll never get her visitation back. BTW, where's her mom? Did she go home already?
