Zeta-Jones, as of late, has stuck by her husband Michael Douglas' side as he battled cancer a few months back, and now she is the one who will need the support of her family and loved ones:
Her rep says in a statement:
"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder. She's feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films."Oh. Okay...
For those that aren't aware, Bipolar disorder is a mental illness marked by elevated or irritable moods alternating with periods of depression, afflicts about 6 million Americans. Those with Bipolar II tend to have more depression, with the mood swings spread over a longer time and the "up" periods less elevated. The episodes can be triggered by major stress or life changes.
Sad. Hopefully she recovers quite well from this.
