TMZ, doing its part to hire the mentally handicapped.

92. Anyone who works in the health field including a nursing aide (someone who changes bedpans for example) can be called a health professional. YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF SHE HAS BIPOLAR DISORDER. STOP TRYING TO DIAGNOSE HER YOU MORONS. What idiots you all are.

Posted at 9:10PM on Jan 31st 2008 by "Health Professionals"? You've got to be kidding.

93. yes this is very hard to believe since there is a law thats called patient privacy rights..I really doubt they would just come and and tell TMZ Britneys condtion..your starting to sound like the national inquirer now full of B.S.

96. Wow- look at how she has aged from the stress over the past year... look at photos side by side through a timeline. Stress aint no joke. From the photo on this post, she looks like she is 40.

97. And those "sources at" the UCLA Med Center are what? Employees who do not have access to her or her medical file setting around in the cafeteria gossiping? Janitors and matrons gossiping? Parking garage attendants gossiping? The hospital groundskeepers gossiping? Are those the "sources at" the UCLA Med Center?

99. Why are all the medical and her problems being discussed by sources from the hospital. Patient records, I thought, were confidential.

100. I can understand where Britney is coming from because I've been there although never as bad. I was very lucky because I found a man who was willing to put up with my swings and help me deal with them. It's a shame Britney never did. I agree with whoever was wondering who else in Britney's family is bipolar. This is a genetic based biochemical imbalance in the brain. I've never heard of a spontaneous mutation. Everyone on my mother's side of the family has it, some worse than others but I'm the only one sane enough to voluntarily seek treatment. When you're inside the bipolar, you don't even realize that there's anything wrong. Your warped world view seems perfectly normal. I didn't even remember from one swing to the next what I had said. I'd pick a fight with my husband and then deny everything when my mood swung again. This may be the explanation for Britney's many personalities. It's not quite the same thing as Multiple Personality Disorder because there is no control personality who remembers everything.

The biggest difference between me and Britney (well, mentally anyway) is I went to get help after I had a child because I remembered what my mother's bipolar had done to me. I wanted to save my baby from that. Even so it took years to get a proper balance on my meds and I still have some mood swings although I take my medications every day. It's not always enough. I've been seeing a psychiatrist for years who knows my moods and can tell when I'm starting to swing and adjust my meds accordingly. This is a very difficult disease to live with. For the person with it and for everyone who cares about them. I almost despise her family for not seeing the problem before this and helping her get treatment before things got so bad.

It's true that a belief in a higher power will help you get through this and many other problems. I'm a Wiccan and I know the Mother has helped me through this and never left me to suffer alone. Whichever divine spirit Britney believes in can help her though this if she prays for help.

101. EXCELLENT!

102. THANK GOD!! Someone please help this girl. I wonder if Britney ever sees any of the TMZ video's of her self and does she even.... realize how STUPID she looks! I just wish the girl would stay home and order out or order on line, something other then going out into the public eye for a while, I'm tired of seeing her everywhere you go!

103.
Everybody in the mental health profession know that this is not just a break down and if she is not testing posititive for normal street drugs, then something else has to be in her system. Bi-polar people have 'down' times. This girl has been on an 'up' for over a year. Something is wrong wrong wrong.

104. SO MUCH FOR THE HIPAA LAWS.

105. Well, if being "gravely disablesd" means not being to get your own food, shelter and clothing, she doesn't sound "gravely disabled" tp me. The woman owns at least 2 luxury properties in Claifornia, and does nothing but shop and eat. Plus, she brings in over $750, 000 a MONTH, so what's the problem?

I say let her go. She's not bothering anyone. :0)
