Perhaps bi-polar II, or even depression pocked with drug-induced hypo-manic episodes, but bi-polar I disorder is as rare as full-blown schizophrenia or IQs above 160. As special as Britney is, it just doesn't happen all that often, despite the rising "trend" of this particular diagnosis. I'm not saying that the girl doesn't have issues. She clearly does, and she seems to be making good progress working through a lifetime's worth of unresolved issues. But claiming to be bi-polar (I) <i>is</i> a convenient excuse to absolve oneself of all social and parental responsibilities, however - and I've seen many adults ride out their diagnosis as far as sympathetic observers will carry them. That's not what a person in Brit's condition needs. She has to summon the will and the fortitude to continue making progress. I sincerely doubt she truly has bi-polar disorder.

This woman had no childhood. Her issues are understandable and really not all that unusual. She's getting help. It's working. She's making progress. Having grandpa in the picture makes a safe, stable environment for the kids. It's good. It's really good. I'm pleased to hear this, and I bet you anything we'll see her back on her feet and independent again in a year or two. As my therapist puts it…Britney is being “re-parented” right now.

She needs Papa to manage her affairs for at least another 15 years, until the kids are grown. Britney has years of crazy left in her.

Her remaining fans will outgrow her very soon and future generations just aren't going to understand her appeal. She can only ride this sympathy wave for so long until it loses momentum and once again the world sees her for what she really is... the backup dancer who gets to move her mouth. She should call her new album Undertalented. She’s doomed if she needs constant positive attention from the public to keep her happy.

Dr. grrl did not get it ALL right. sure she is fragile, bipolar, has childhood demons, but, be honest, except for bi polar - we all can testify to the others. She is human, we all have "flaws", some of us never finding out exactly what they are and living life without mental help. World tour better now. Good for Britney's self esteem, pay off legal pills, financial problems, most incurred at time of Sam (the drugger)and when the kids are older, in school, they will need her home then, and then she will have more custody. Listen up folks, Team Britney is doing a great job and what's best in the long run. Oh please people!

Her parents were not parents to her when she needed them to be. As a result, i believe that whe will continue to throw these fits in a desperate attempt to revert to those years. It's a means of getting attention, but is also a veiled cry for help. Those eyes still look pretty lost to me. If she had the sense in her, she would walk away from Hollywood and get centered somewhere with her kids. But with her parents "guiding" her - how could she? She was just never given the tools . . . hope her children don't turn into disturbed drug addicts, and that the cycle doesn't repeat itself with them. dr.grrl got it right. honestly? i think this girl is psychologically damaged – from which recovery will be tough since she’s so much older now.
