It's apparent that despite all that's been given to her, the thing that ultimately destroyed her was what will be taken away: her babies. I truly can't fathom the chaos... police officers, babies, lawyers, assistants, medics and an under-the-influence Mama Bear. She could probably use a little rest at the hospital. And then rehab. And then maybe a nice home in the country, far far away from the drama she's brought on herself. Sad.

Now even Dr. Phil seems to be piling onto the fray...
People magazine is also reporting that she had no drugs or alcohol in her system the night of the episode....

House in the country, house in the country, house in the country....with a good doctor nearby....

Oh, Dr. Phil. I lost all respect for him when he launched a vitamin line to go with his weight loss books.

My oh-so-expert diagnosis is bipolar. She seems to swing to those huge highs and huge lows -- and if a bipolar person experiences a mixed state, it can result in exactly the sort of breakdown Brit appeared to have the other night. Her drinking and drug use could have been a way to curb those states.... I hope she'll get the help she needs -- I'd hate to see all the horrid predictions about her come true.

Not much of a Dr. Phil fan here, either, Megan. Seems to do a tad too much pill-hawking and book-pushing for my taste, too. His show is bordering on Springeresque these days, and now this whole Britney intervention... it's nuts.

She may indeed be bipolar. From what I understand, the post-partum period can be a trigger for this illness, and her troubles definitely seemed to have started after she gave birth to Sean Preston.

 Isn't there anyone out there who exercises any control over this girl whatsoever? She needs to be in therapy ASAP!
