Catherine Zeta-Jones checks into treatment facility for bipolar disorder


Catherine Zeta-Jones has been treated for manic depression over the stress of her husband Michael Douglas’s battle against cancer.
The 41-year-old actress was admitted last Wednesday to the Silver Hill psychiatric hospital, where she reportedly shared a ward with alcoholics and drug addicts.
She stayed for five days, joining 10 to 15 others in the £770-a-day detox centre at the hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut.
Her publicist confirmed that she had received mental health treatment to help her cope with her traumatic personal life.
‘After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check into a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her bipolar II disorder,’ she said.
‘She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on two upcoming films.’
