Britney's Stay Will Be Extended

Posted Feb 2nd 2008 6:15PM by TMZ Staff

It's not a done deal, but expect that sometime tonight, papers will be signed at UCLA extending Britney Spears' stay at the psych ward -- by 14 days.

It's an internal process -- done without a court order. But we're told it will indeed happen, and that's not surprising given her mental health. As we first reported, Britney's been diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder.

The ward Britney is in is considered one of the best in the nation for the treatment she is receiving.

8. Bipolar disorder takes a loooooong time to straighten out. It can be done, but this is a step in the right direction.

9. I am so happy to hear that she is getting the help she so deperately had needed for so long. I knew that she was not using drugs. Now her name will be cleared. The people who dragged her name through the mud should hang their heads in shame. She has a serious mental illness, and it is sad that she had to lose her children in the process before she finally received help. She has been used and taken advantage of along the way but I believe she is finally safe and on the path to recovery.
