Actress Heather Locklear has checked into a clinic in Arizona to receive treatment for anxiety and depression:

"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression," Locklear's spokeswoman Cece Yorke said in a statement to Reuters. "She requested an in depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment."

I don't know...if I'd had to deal with the things Heather has had to deal with the past few years (unfaithful husband Richie Sambora runs off with two-faced BFF Denise Richards, Richie popped for DUI with their young daughter in tow, a recent suicide call), I might have some anxiety and depression too.

Not trying to make light of what she's dealing with, whether it be caused by external influences, an imbalance in body chemistry, or both.  I'm glad that she recognized the warning signs and got herself into a place where she can be monitored and taken care of by professionals.  From things I've read, she's been under a doctor's care for a while now, and I'm glad she recognized that further evaluation was needed.

And if anyone out there is struggling with depression, there's absolutely no shame whatsoever in going for treatment or continuing your current course of treatment.  I urge anyone dealing with this to seek help.  Sometimes, it's not just a temporary thing or something you'll snap out of, it requires serious attention.  We at GlossLip wish Heather all the best in her continued recovery.
