Brit Off to a Mental Hospital?

Sources tell TMZ the "responsible" people in Britney's life are trying to convince her to voluntarily enter a mental hospital.

We're told there's now a consensus -- she'll never get custody of her kids unless she undergoes intensive, in-patient treatment for what appears to be a severe bipolar disorder. But we're told Spears is resisting and does not want to enter a hospital.

And sources say that since her release from Cedars, Brit has "pulled it together, at least on the surface." She is coherent and engaged, but will not voluntarily enter a mental facility -- at least for now.

226. I would guess that Britney doesn’t care. She’s already been reported as being back in LA driving around by x-17.

227. Britany-Going to the hospital can help, they can get you correct diagnosis, correct medications, detoxed from booze and drugs. Get you in to some theraphy single and group. Spend some time in Hospital 3 to 6 months and really try. You can come out a healthy, sober, sane and worthwild person ready and able to be a good mother to the boys and not a danger to them and yourself. I have been in your shoes, minus the press of course but medications and theraphy do work. For your sake and the sake of your boys go to the hospital. Kick DR Phil, your mom and dad and any other leaches out of your life and stick with the healthy people who love you and dont want your money. God Bless
