Poor Britney. Nothing but a prisoner to her family. At 27 she was allowed to hang out with her family. Every day and every night she is policed and made to be in the company of only family and body guards. A true american tragety in the spotlight. With a dad, mom and brother like hers, who needs enemies?

Why can't you morons do anything about this dating site spammer?

i hate the way she laughs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWSOME SHOW ON GMA YOU GOT IT
BRIT FAN AZ

I thought Britney said in her documentary that she now hates parties and she can't stand being around people anymore. She said she just wants to stay home and read her romance novels. Also, when I saw the video clip of her at the GAY club the other day, she looked like she was NOT having fun at all. So I don't believe for a minute that she is enjoying this "party". Her handlers are pushing her way to hard and way to fast. She is NOT ready for all of this attention. She is still suffering a lot, does not have her kids back (Kevin still has custody). She said in her interview that she is unhappy and just wants to go away so she can be left alone. But her management and Larry are pushing all of this to promoter her. She is unstable and having mental problems. That is why she is under a legal conservatorship. And her fans are the ones that are going to kill her with all the pushing. She may not even make it to the tour coming up or she may cancel because of the high stress levels on her now.

Her fans and her management need to let up on Brit. The girl just went through a nightmare for the last few years. She ended up on a psych ward twice because she went crazy. You can tell in her performances of late that she is just not in to it anymore. She has even said so a few times. She sometimes looks like she is about to breakdown. It is her management and her fans that are going to kill her. A lot of people feel this way who have really taken a good look at her. But her fans just want to party at her expense. If she does have a breakdown again soon, it will be the fault of the industry and her fans. They will be responsible for pushing her to hard and to fast. You can tell she is not in to it anymore. She needs some real peace and quiet, her kids back, the conservatorship over, and her freedom!

I think you are very right. In California it is very, and I mean VERY hard to put someone under a c-ship. Courts will only do it after a lot of psychological tests and doctors have made it very clear the person has some major mental problems. And that they just can't take care of themselves to the point that it may kill them, or their life is in great danger if they are left alone. Basically they are mentally at the level of a kid or someone with real thinking problems. Yet here we see her "team" and dad putting her up for sexual sale, then pushing her to tour to make money for everyone. Britney has millions ($120,000,000), and royalties that come in all the time for the rest of her life. She does not need the money, but they do!

I'm Britney's biggest fan, but I'm really worried that this is all to soon for her. People really need to back off of her and not push her so damn hard. She should be getting rest and quite instead of touring and all the media attention.

She looks like she's screaming, not smiling.

The poor girl is mental. That is why a court of law put her under a legal c-ship. You don't do that unless you are really in bad shape mentally. She is lost and unstable. And the first thing her dad and manager do is have her strip naked for her video Womanizer. Then they put her on a tour. That's like taking a child and pushing them to do all of those things when they are not able to understand those kinds of things yet. To have someone like this poor woman, who has mental problems, under such stress and sexual situations is really sick. They need to back of off Britney until she is better, far better. Let her do those things after her mind is back and she is legally able to take care of herself and understand the consequences of her own decisions.

1 in 5 young adults has personality disorder

Almost one in five young American adults has a personality disorder that interferes with everyday life, and even more abuse alcohol or drugs, researchers reported Monday in the most extensive study of its kind.

The disorders include problems such as obsessive or compulsive tendencies and anti-social behavior that can sometimes lead to violence. The study also found that fewer than 25 percent of college-aged Americans with mental problems get treatment.

One expert said personality disorders may be overdiagnosed. But others said the results were not surprising since previous, less rigorous evidence has suggested mental problems are common on college campuses and elsewhere.

Experts praised the study's scope — face-to-face interviews about numerous disorders with more than 5,000 young people ages 19 to 25 — and said it spotlights a problem college administrators need to address.

Study co-author Dr. Mark Olfson of Columbia University and New York State Psychiatric Institute called the widespread lack of treatment particularly worrisome. He said it should alert not only "students and parents, but also deans and people who run college mental health services about the need to extend access to treatment."

Counting substance abuse, the study found that nearly half of young people surveyed have some sort of psychiatric condition, including students and non-students.

Personality disorders were the second most common problem behind drug or alcohol abuse as a single category. The disorders include obsessive, anti-social and paranoid behaviors that are not mere quirks but actually interfere with ordinary functioning.

The study authors noted that recent tragedies such as fatal shootings at Northern Illinois University and Virginia Tech have raised awareness about the prevalence of mental illness on college campuses.

They also suggest that this age group might be particularly vulnerable.

"For many, young adulthood is characterized by the pursuit of greater educational opportunities and employment prospects, development of personal relationships, and for some, parenthood," the authors said. These circumstances, they said, can result in stress that triggers the start or recurrence of psychiatric problems.

The study was released Monday in Archives of General Psychiatry. It was based on interviews with 5,092 young adults in 2001 and 2002.

Olfson said it took time to analzye the data, including weighting the results to extrapolate national numbers. But the authors said the results would probably hold true today.

The study was funded with grants from the National Institutes of Health, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the New York Psychiatric Institute.

Dr. Sharon Hirsch, a University of Chicago psychiatrist not involved in the study, praised it for raising awareness about the problem and the high numbers of affected people who don't get help.

Imagine if more than 75 percent of diabetic college students didn't get treatment, Hirsch said. "Just think about what would be happening on our college campuses."

The results highlight the need for mental health services to be housed with other medical services on college campuses, to erase the stigma and make it more likely that people will seek help, she said.

In the study, trained interviewers, but not psychiatrists, questioned participants about symptoms. They used an assessment tool similar to criteria doctors use to diagnose mental illness.

Dr. Jerald Kay, a psychiatry professor at Wright State University and chairman of the American Psychiatric Association's college mental health committee, said the assessment tool is considered valid and more rigorous than self-reports of mental illness. He was not involved in the study.

Personality disorders showed up in similar numbers among both students and non-students, including the most common one, obsessive compulsive personality disorder. About 8 percent of young adults in both groups had this illness, which can include an extreme preoccupation with details, rules, orderliness and perfectionism.

Kay said the prevalence of personality disorders was higher than he would expect and questioned whether the condition might be overdiagnosed.

All good students have a touch of "obsessional" personality that helps them work hard to achieve. But that's different from an obsessional disorder that makes people inflexible and controlling and interferes with their lives, he explained.

Obsessive compulsive personality disorder differs from the better known OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, which features repetitive actions such as hand-washing to avoid germs.

OCD is thought to affect about 2 percent of the general population. The study didn't examine OCD separately but grouped it with all anxiety disorders, seen in about 12 percent of college-aged people in the survey.

The overall rate of other disorders was also pretty similar among college students and non-students.

Substance abuse, including drug addiction, alcoholism and other drinking that interferes with school or work, affected nearly one-third of those in both groups.

Slightly more college students than non-students were problem drinkers — 20 percent versus 17 percent. And slightly more non-students had drug problems — nearly 7 percent versus 5 percent.

In both groups, about 8 percent had phobias and 7 percent had depression.

Bipolar disorder was slightly more common in non-students, affecting almost 5 percent versus about 3 percent of students.

hollywoods biggest puppet. the girl is so lost, she doesn't seem to want to be doing all this right now but her father and managers are pushing her. this comeback thing is so fake. her performances are so flat. not even half the dancer she used to be. i feel like she still has ot in her , but she just isn't ready yet. it's real sad , a puppet on strings

SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THIS FOOL THAT SHE IS LOSING MORE AND MORE FANS EVERY DAMN DAY BECAUSE OF HER CHOICES, THE WRECK SHE BECAME AND HER REFUSAL TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS.

She said in her lame video, or exchange for pity awards, that people took advantage of her. Miss Spears, no one can take advantage of you without your permission. You are an unbelieavable self-centered, un-educated, foolish person and you have received all of the bad things that you had coming to you.
