I remember around the time she was put into a conservatorship. She had severe bipolar disease at the time, was taking cocaine which was making her worse, and had profound post partum depression. She was spending TONS of money, a lot of it on drugs, and useless junk. She was driving around with her baby, unseat=belted, on her lap (reporters got pix) ...if she'd ever had to stop suddenly, baby would have been smashed against the steering wheel and would likely have died. The kicker was when the judge ordered her tested for coke after she was supposed to have been clean for awhile, and she shaved her head so they couldn't do the tests (hair will tell you how much cocaine has been taken and when) . She's on lithium for bipolar....the standard treatment. If she goes off it, as she says she would like to do, she will swing between manic highs, in which she unloads all her money and takes a ton of drugs (you think you can do anything) and profound possibly even suicidal depression. Bipolar is forever....you can treat it, but it's never "cured" If the baby blues put her down as far as she said they did the last time, she should never have another child....each time is usually worse. One outcome of profound bipolar is suicide. So Good Luck Britney! If you win your freedom, you're certainly going to need it!!
