"Grey's" Star Checked In to UCLA Psych Ward

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.

The rep claims Chambers, a married father of five, was "exhausted and suffers from a sleeping disorder. He went in voluntarily to get some help."

Chambers was in the same ward where Britney is being treated.

18. Actually I think it's good that this is out in the open. People who were once embarresed of having a mental
problem can now not be so ashamed of it. Heck I think ALL of Hollywood is one BIG PSYCH ward,
Any way.

21.

If Britney is actually yelling, cussing, and creating an uproar., as TMZ is reporting, then that's probably not the place to be getting any rest right now. LOL

23. #19. I think that is exactly what did it. Maybe he was afraid of trying sleeping pills (or maybe he already had them and was too afraid to continue them). I think Heath Ledger may be exactly what prompted this decision. Good for him.

25. 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!

26. If I was his wife: YOU'RE EXHAUSTED/SLEEP DEPRIVED?!?!?!?!? I'm the one raising 5 kids! Get your butt home!!!

That's why he was only there one night. Toughen up! Most moms are exhausted/sleep deprived - if we all checked into a psych ward, the world would end!

27. I think that it's awesome that he is taking care of himself and getting help for his issues. Too bad more celebrities don't do this and instead turn to illegal drugs & wind up dead-- or just lose their career over it.

I love Justin Chambers.. He is so hot. I hope he gets the help he needs.

But uhm, yeah. He has like 5 kids. Who wouldn't be exhausted?

28. Good for him. Screw what everyone thinks. The dude is trying to get well. What good is your fame and money, if you have anxiety, can't sleep and (most likely) suffer from depression?

I hope he gets the help he needs. I love Grey's Anatomy and his character.

Izzy and Alex = perfect couple!

Get well soon, Justin Chambers!
