TMZ has learned actor Justin Chambers, Dr. Alex Karev on "Grey's Anatomy," checked himself in to the psych ward at UCLA Medical Center this week. Yes, it's the same place ...

Chambers' rep confirmed to TMZ that star checked in on Monday and checked out yesterday.

6. so since celebrities are invading psych wards now,,,its not going to be taboo anymore? remember when you lost all credibility once youve been committed?

7. OMG!!!! So last year the 'IT' thing to do was to go to rehab...
Now it's going to psych ward?!
What the hell is this world coming to!

We will hear about this Grey's Anatomy dude once..(one too many but anyways...)
And we will keep on hearing about Britney 10 000 more times!!!

Obviously these people need/needed help...
When has it become acceptable to 'profit' of someones illness?!
Makes me sick

15. I wish him well. He seems like a fine person. Of course, I don't know but I wonder if Heath Ledger scared Justin into getting help? ET should run that Heath Ledger tape. Maybe others would see themselves in him and will seek help. Good luck, people!
