Britney Spears Has Been Released From Hospital, BAD Decision, REALLY Bad
Just when you thought it was safe to visit the local Starbucks, Britney Spears is back on the loose. And not surprising, she was released after THROWING a Holy hissy fit to get out of the joint. According to TMZ, Britney, who has been universally decided by all parties involved to be suffering from some sort of bi-polar disorder (k called that a while back, props to her) was being held on what is called a "5150" hold.
The "5150" hold is being defined as a mandatory stay for at least 72 hours, unless hospital staff determine the person is no longer a danger to themselves. Cedars-Sinai made the universal decision (they didn't consult the parties involved) Ms. Spears was no longer a danger to herself and released her.
As you may recall, Britney Spears was taken into custody by police on Friday when she refused to turn over her children after her court-monitored visitation was over. Britney locked herself in a room with her youngest son, 1-year old Jayden James and after several attempts to get her to come out, police were forced to break in. Jayden was also taken to the hospital in an ambulance and kept for observation.
Both boys are now with their father Kevin Federline, who has been granted full custody (at least temporarily) until a January 14 court hearing on the matter.
Bi-polar disorder is a very complicated mental illness with several diverse symptoms, but most commonly they cycle between being in a low and depressive state and high and manic state. The individuals experiencing the symptoms are often enamored by their manic state and can be defiant and stubborn about level their moods. I have known a few "truly" bi-polar people, and when medicated and taking proper care of their condition they are reasonable and wonderful people, when they stop taking their medication they are extremely difficult and exceptionally unpleasant to deal with. Not to mention REALLY disturbing and disturbed. In the past, people who suffered from this condition were often diagnosed a schizophrenic. NOT pretty.
