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.

31. Well Duhhh! I thought that is what has been going on for a while now! Perhaps Dr. Jon Adams can help.

32. Oh brother! What I know about the Biopolar disorder IS DENIAL DENIAL! As I said before, My cousin has a bipoloar disorder. I recommend for her to be forced to go the closest Camarillo Mental State Hospital in Camariilo, California. I have passed there many times. It is not far from Mailbu,her home near the Pacific Highway. Only 25 minutes away!

33. So the hospital claims no drugs or alcohol, but she is seen partying all the time? In fact, someone else reported the very next morning after being released she was in Palm Springs with her new Boyfriend drinking mimosas. She should be forcibly committed, forcibly medicated, ad never allowed to see those children again!

34. All brit needs is a good nutrionist and to throw all the prescription meds away. They are poison poison poison. Her doctors are lying to her that she needs addaral or anything else. She's fine the way she is and needs to find people that know that and surround herself with them. It's the prescription drugs that make people lose it. Have y'all seen the black box warning on the bottels?? I mean COME ON!!! May cause sucide.... And our doctors are giving it to us??? WHAT THE HELL???

35. Britney needs to find a good doctor and be checked from her hair follicles to her toenails eleminate the physical first then the mental..She did have two children so close together....seems Dr. Phil , Lynne her Mom and Cedars Hospital have closed the door on Britney ever trusting enough to open up after that episode of Dr. Phil showing up without Britney's permission...and its a shame...This girl who seemed so wacky and thumbing her nose at the judge is so needy of someone who just cares about her and not out to see what they can get out of her..She needs to move as far away from Hollywood and all its plastic people ASAP before she looses herself anymore...she is a human being so while we are human let us remain humane...

37. Britney's PIMP MOTHER, CEDAR SINI HOSPITAL, & DR. PHIL should GO TO JAIL!!! How can that B*tch mother of hers send Dr. Phil to have a television intervention with her??? I would go CRAZY if someone sent that IMBICILE DR PHIL to see me in the hospital too. DON'T COMMIT YOURSELF TO A LOONEY BIN BRITT! Just tell your SOB MOTHER to COMMIT HERSELF!! She is the crazy one...look what she did to Britney and Jamie Lynn. She is nothing more than a PIMP who WHORES OT HER DAUGHTERS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER! GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS BRITNEY!

38. Hopefully a competent court will take the kids away from the entire family group, including Federline, and place them in adoption with a really GREAT family!

Give them a chance!

42. This is ultimately very sad. And the only people who truly suffer from all this caos is her kids. All they know is they love there mom and want to be with her. I wish she would take whatever help is extended to her, to get herself together. I don't know how many of us would be "normal" after having a life sytle that she has since she was very young and impressionable. I think having kids for her was her way of trying to have some normalcy in her life, but then it is a lot of work, the kind that she is not used to, (what new parent is?) She really needs to go away for a while, some place safe, where she can get the help she needs, and the paps, need to let her go! Pleeease! And then maybe she can be the kind of mom she knows she should be because it is not about her anymore, it should be about the kids!!!

43. I wonder how long it will be before the new "boyfriend" sells a tell all for $$$$$. Seems everyone else is cashing in.

44.
Britney is a classic Psycho Beeyotch from Hell.

She is beyond help.

45. Really hope and pray she gets the help she needs. Could she be
suffering from schizophrenia? I personally do not know, but she does seem
to show some subtle signs of it, and it often times manifests itself in the mid
to late twenties. She is 26 correct?

Well, I think the media need to back off, and let this girl get the help she
needs in PRIVATE. I pray for her sons to stay well and safe through this
terrible ordeal. I really feel for them, and pray that somehow, they will
grow up in a normal loving atmosphere.

Again, the Paparazzi and media in general need to back off. Britney also
needs to cooperate for medical help, but she may cooperate more if the media back off.

Unfortunately, the media often seems to keep pressing, until a celebrity is crushed. Hope
not so anymore in this case.
