"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.

31. 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!

36. Must be nice to have a great Health Care plan that allows you to get commited to a Psych ward just because you have 5 kids (which he helped create) and he hasn't slept in a few days.....boo hooooo....let me get another tissue to wipe my tears away (sarcastic tone, just in case morons out there think I feel sorry for this imbecile) Funny, I have been unable to find a job almost 6 months now, no health insurance, and as I write this I am suffering from a severe case of bronchites with a touch of laryngites....does anyone give a crap about me.....I don't think so....yet we are all supposed to feel sorry for the losers like Britanny and now this moron who can not sleep....please! What has become of this once great nation of ours????

Knock some sense into these creeps!!!!!

43. Get well Justin Chambers. And, what a pity your privacy has been violated about checking into UCLA due to exhaustion.

The paparazzi are ruthless scoundrels that think they have the right to violate anyone's privacy; including HIPPA (Health Information Patient Privacy Act).

Looks like the time is around the corner when paparazzi laws may be on the books too!
