Brit Off to a Mental Hospital?

61. Who better to protect Britney from the Paparazzi than a paparazzi? He's probably the only one she can trust right now. Growing up she had an abusing alcoholic father, a stage pushing mother and she tops it off with the gold digging lazy lowlife deadbeat K-Fed. Hmmmmm. I wonder why she's so messed up? All of us would be bonkers if we had led her life. Everyone should leave her alone for awhile. There was an interesting article the other day about a person's brain doesn't fully develop until they are over 25 years old. I think some of you are way overdue.

62. She is now hooked up with a Papparazi guy who is MARRIED and is trying to make big bucks off of her.
She really DOES need her head examined!!
Not only has she lost her kids but has now lost all respect for herself.
Nothing that happens with her surprises me anymore. No Sympathy what so ever.
She knows exactly what she is doing and could care less. No class what so ever.

63. Britney doesn't need all the ugly and negative comments. She is in desperate need of help. It is so sad that she continues to be judged by people who have no clue as to what her life is like - only what is seen thanks to the paparazzi who stalk her 24/7. What Britney is going through is not funny or comical; definitely nothing to joke about. I'm praying that she gets the help she needs before it's too late. Bipolar disorder, postpartum depression or drug addiction (whatever she is suffering from) is serious. Grow up people - this is REAL!!

64. I have to admit that at this point I feel bad for Britney. She is obviously in need of help and has been for quite some time. It's sad that all the people around her failed to see it and if they did see it, never said anything to her. I have a feeling had they spoke up instead of being "yes" men and women that she would have received the help she needed. The saddest part is, that in the end, her kids are going to be the ones to lose. It's almost a blessing that they are too young to remember any of this.

On another note however, once Britney is well and has received the help she needs, she should and could use her celebrity to call attention to Bi-Polar disorder and the need to treat it early and swiftly.

65. She doesn’t want her kids anyway. I just watched her in a video on P. Hilton. Saw her smoking and sharing a “funny” lollipop with Adnan. If she won’t be deposed to get her kids back, why in world would she go into a mental hospital? As I’ve said before, this custody case is done. She’d be lucky to even get monitored visitation.

66. Someone has to do something if she is as mentally imbalanced as she seems. As a mother she cannot be thinking clearly to be acting this way after losing custody of her children. I would do WHATEVER it takes to get my babies back. Normal people would think that way, apparently Brit does not. I hope her boys are too young to remember this!

67. wow! Such misconceptions about mental illness...this has not been a "sudden" thing, I doubt it was caused by drugs (although it may have been accelerated by self-medication) The way she is acting SCREAMS metal illness, not drugs.
That beign said, unfortunately most bi-polar patients are extremely resistant to treatment and escpecially to hospitalization. I feel so sorry for this young women who has fallen so far from so high.

I will continue to pray for her and her children.

68. There is nothing wrong with this woman. She has played ALL of you and she's been playing you.

69. Britney is just another spoiled celebrity brat. She needs a spanking and some discipline. I don't believe anymore that Britney has a mental illness....she thinks she is above and beyond everyone else. DIVA! It's all a ploy, that I'm convinced of now. It's all her way of staying in the news. If this drama wasn't happening, no one would care! Time to start ignoring the biotch! Stop feeding her twisted mind with how wonderful she is because it's not true....All I can see is a woman who is a has been! She needs to curl up and blow away!

I might have sympathy for her if she deserved it. The only thing she deserves is for the California justice system to work properly and throw the book at her! WAKE UP JUDGES!!!

70. I don't buy the bipolar, the drugs or the enablers, entirely. I blame giving a kid MILLIONS of dollars and sitting back to see what happens. How many more Ultimate Spoiled Brats do we have to generate to prove this? I still think it'll take a spinout with multiple victims to really address this Hollywood Enabler issue.

71. Of course she won't commit herself! She has a mental illness and she thinks she is perfectly fine. (Everyone else has a problem.) All those crazy, homeless, dirty, talkin-to-themselves, can't control their bodies, pitiful to look at, want to keep away from, people we see on the streets are not any different from this woman. With less money and fame Britney Spears would be a sad, homeless crazy woman living on the streets begging us for a smoke.

72. Of course Britney won't go into treatment. It would mean she would have to leave aside her lifestyle, the hangers-on and the partying. She's terrified of being confronted by herself. I can't believe it but I feel sorry for her. I guess I was convinced that drugs were the primary issue. Yes, they're an issue but not the main one. Britney Spears needs psychological help and I hope she gets it. What I don't want her to get and I can't imagine she will get, is custody of any sort of her children. They deserve a safe and stable environment.

73. I feel sad for Brttney's situation. Most people going through the custody battles and mental illness can do so in the privacy of their own home, I wonder how much of her condition is aggravated by the press?

Right. I wonder how much of her condition is aggravated by herself? Oh, I know. 99.99%.

74. To #57--

You have obviously never dealt with anyone who has had any type of mental illness. Know where you speak of before you start to make any judgement on someone else's life. I can tell it will be of no use trying to argue my point with you so I'll just leave it at that. Watch how quickly you judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes ok?

75. I just don't understand this whole situation, first they say she's a drud addict but all her tests come out "NEGATIVE"? And then she's BIPOLAR, What the HELL!! I think she is just CRAZY, she's not a normal person. Nobody can help her, she could only help herself!!
