Posted January 10, 200817 yr Britney will get help- like it or not -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TMZ has learned family members and professionals in Britney's life are working as a team to get her mental help -- either voluntarily or involuntarily -- for treatment of what appears to be a severe bipolar disorder. We're told it's going to happen one way or the other, and fast. So far, Britney refuses to commit herself voluntarily, but the team is persisting. Sources say they are considering "a number of options," some of which are "creative." The most extreme option -- going to court and getting an order forcing Britney into in-patient treatment. That would be the last ditch effort. If involuntary commitment is the only option, Brit must be picked up by cops -- again -- on a "5150," meaning she's a danger to herself or others. Then, while she's in the hospital, health care professionals can go to the County Public Guardian, who can then go to court and ask for what's called a "conservatorship." The conservator would then basically assume control of Brit's life. If the judge grants the conservatorship, Brit could be involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. Again, that's not the only option and various alternatives are being discussed right now. TMZ
January 10, 200817 yr If true, that's good. She needs some kind of help, and have to get it. If forcing her by a court order is the only way to do so, then so it be.
January 10, 200817 yr I don't want to be cruel but honestly, this is the best thing that could happen to her. She doesn't seem to be committed to her health and care and I think she believes she doesn't need help which is crazy.
January 10, 200817 yr Good, she needs help. Sometimes being severe is the only possible way to get it through.
January 10, 200817 yr I wish Britney would voluntarily commit to help. :( She really needs to. I agree 100% :( she needs to wake up finally :cry:
January 10, 200817 yr About time her team changed from "Yes Yes Yes" people to a team that actually personally care for her!
January 10, 200817 yr would be really good if she decides to get the help herself but i dont really see it happening :(
January 10, 200817 yr Good, she needs help. Sometimes being severe is the only possible way to get it through. Yeah, sometimes people don't know when they need help. It's for the best.
