Britney Spears suffers from bipolar disorder and depression
Spears, who admits she suffers from bipolar disorder, manic depression, and erratic mood swings, was released from a mental health facility last week after a 30-day stay.
Britney suffered an emotional breakdown because of her father Jamie’s ongoing health problems, TMZ reported.
Jamie Spears, 66, has undergone two surgeries for problems with his intestines and colon after his colon erupted in November 2018.
Sources say his health is not improving, and this caused Britney to spiral into a deep depression.
Spears was placed on suicide watch in 2008
Britney has been under a conservatorship led by her dad since 2008 since suffering a series of emotional breakdowns that year.
At the time, Spears was forcibly hospitalized and placed on suicide watch. During her 20s, the pop princess abused drugs and alcohol.
In January 2019, Britney tweeted how grateful she was that her father is alive, and urged her fans to take care of their mental and physical health.
Spears tweeted: âItâs important to always put your family first⌠and thatâs the decision I had to make. A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died. Weâre all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him.â
As HVY reported, Britney says she exercises every day because it eases her anxiety and depression.
Spears often encourages her fans on social media to work out, saying it has therapeutic benefits.
âDaily exercise is important for me both mentally and physically,â Spears said. âI donât mind working out. Trainers keep you motivated, but I didnât have a problem being motivated.â
