First she cant be sectioned under the mental health act as that is a british act and does not apply in the US. It is not as easy as just whipping someone away to get them into hospital.

Rehab, well they are not mental health assessment clinics to they will not work, especially if she leaves after a few weeks.

Mark I admire that you defend her, but remember she has obviously got mental health problems by anyone's standards and I am not in any way saying they are her own fault. They are however laid bare for all to see.

Having a mental heatl problem is not easy to cope with, it isnt easy admitting you are ill, in fact when you are really poorly you are not even aware that others see you as being ill. Britney needs help, but she has to be ready or have a big enough meltdown which will enable her to take the first steps towards getting that help. If she has at any point been on medication she will possibly have taken them, felt better and stopped which is really common, then you go through the whole process over and over again.

When you are in the grips of any kind of mental health episode it kind of goes between a total obivion where you are unaware of your behaviour to a really scary place where it is difficult to cope with the wolrd and it's perceptions of you. Depression can cause your views of the world to become really narrow and everything feels pretty hopeless.

I really have a huge amount of empathy for this girl, I hope that at some point soon, she is strong enough to accept the help she needs. I hope the press leave her the hell alone, she isnt able to tell them to go away at this point in any kind of meaningful way.
