What’s Wrong with Britney?

How many people posting on here are actually mothers? Britney is a young mother. I am 40 years old and even I would go balisitc if someone tried to take away my children! Besides, Kevin Federline isn't all that much better of a parent, if at all. He is taking advantage of her situation. Hopefully she gets her children back soon. It's a sad situation.

Isnt it amazing, all the people here who personally know Britney and Kevin? I mean, how else could you know exactly whats wrong with them or how grear their parenting skills are?

Leave them alone for a change. Try to understand that none of you know them personally, and all that you do know is what you read - which is half gossip and melodrama. The press reports what the public wants to hear - which is not necessarily always the truth.

None of us know what is actually "wrong" with Britney - mental health issues, addiction, whatever. What is obvious to the world is that this poor girl needs help, whatever that help may be.

I think the media has alot to do with the problem. She can't even go to the store without them following her. And post partum depression has a lot to do with it also. Give her a chance to recovery.

Here's an idea. People always wonder what happened to Britney Spears. Here's the answer: the media happened to Britney Spears. Who honestly gives a crap about any of this? It doesn't affect any of us. If we all want Spears to get out of this, we'll quit researching her whole life story 24/7 and following her every move. Let the woman live her life. Quit reading articles such as this one, because the more hits this article gets, the more reason to write another article just like it. Get Spears out of the limelight and give the woman some privacy.

I was admitted for a 72-hour observation involuntary because I called the police on myself, which I know now was a stupid move on my part, but I was panicing and crying out for attention, but it was not a good choice and I regret every moment of that horrible experience and think it made me worse off! It doesn't benefit a person unless they are seriously ill and really need to be confined. In my case, that wasn't the hospital's best decision I've seen. I believe Britnany will be scared from this and may affect her future drastically then what she has already caused herself. Weather she was under the influence of not, she needs a therapist and treatment to get it under control, not confinement. Thats my personal opinion.

If anyone in this forum has always made the right choices in life, never made a mistake, never had personal problems, and is basically perfect, I would love to read a comment from you stating what Britney should do. Otherwise, I think that people need to take a step back, and see Britney for what she is: a young mother, and a human being with a lot of emotional/psychological issues in her life that haven't been properly diagnosed. Imagine your life coming apart at the seams before the age of 25-- moreover, imagine your life coming apart at the seams in front of the WHOLE WORLD! That's enough to exacerbate anyone's fragile mental state. I don't know of ANYONE-- famous or not-- that would act the way she has for the whole world to photograph, write about, and talk about if they were in a correct state of mind. I really hope that Britney gets the help she needs, and is FINALLY diagnosed correctly (because, obviously, it hasn't happened yet). I hope, just like I would for anyone, that she is able to get her life together, be a good mother, and find the inner peace in which she is in such dire need. And, in the process, it would be very nice to not see her exploited as a puppet of the paparazzi, but we all know that isn't going to happen....It would also be very nice for SOMEONE to determine what is best for Britney the person, not the celebrity Britney Spears...

I think she is possessed!

I also believe she is suffering from Postpartum depression and I am praying that she will get help. I was wondering WHY none of the medical community had spoken out on this probability. All that the media reports is her "wild" behavior and "showing out" in public. She has been screaming for help...

She does not deserve to have children anyways! She obviously still has issues that any child does not need to be around at all.

She is possessed!!!

Spears needs this attorney. Client has 2 felony convictions, one state, one federal. Client has 2 assault convictions, DUI convictions, no drivers license conviction and a host of other convictions. Mother has been to 'treatment' both on own and court ordered but is certifiably nuts. Spears needs to pay a bigger bribe.

You can't even compare Diana with the white trash that Brittany obviously is. She is uneducated and was placed in a position where young girls view her as a role model. This being the case many of us have no hope for the wold that is to come when people like this become hero's and heroines to our young people.

Spears needs to get this attorney. This attorneys client has 2 felony convictions, 2 assault convictions, DUI convictions, driving without a license conviction while children in the car and many other convictions. Has been into treatment on her own and court ordered. Still a wacko but as long as you play the game you are above the law. About time the Dad got the kids when the ex is nuts. southdakotagov.info

The second issue with Brit is the Media, if we ALL had to live our lives in front of the media's cameras I believe it would probably make us all a little nuts.

I think she needs a lot of help; she is crying out for help. I think the only one that can help her is herself and her ex-husband which I still believe he still wants her money. This young lady has never been able to have a normal life.

Ugh... ignorance. I also believe that she is going through post partum depression. I wouldn't be able to say for sure as the only information that I know about is stuff that I hear on the radio, or read when I buy a magazine. I've had post partum depression though, and its not a situation where you can just 'GROW UP and deal with it'. Its a mental illness caused by the changes of hormones in your body. I had this with my first two children, and looking back at the bits that I can remember now, I acted dreadfully, and the whole world and my perception of it was changed to suit my illness. With my third and last child, there was NO post partum depression at all, and the whole pregnancy and baby experience has been vastly different.

What really irks me is people such as the 'silent-no-more' that either don't believe in mental illness, or believe that its a cop out, or whatever.... the truth though is that my behavior and who I was changed quite radically for an entire year after I had my children. I also had pre-natal depression, which is a chemically induced depression before the baby is even born. This makes life really, really difficult, and I was so afraid of not surviving it again that I almost didn't have my third child.

How would you know if its a mental illness or not? Why not just cut her some slack and stop being so mean?
