Catherine Zeta-Jones Treated for Bipolar II Disorder

Catherine Zeta-Jones, who has been by husband Michael Douglas's side during his cancer fight, has sought mental health treatment for herself, her rep says. Click here.  (From Bratprince:  VERY BRAVE of her!!  Mental illness still carries a hugh stigma and for people like Zeta-Jones to admit to it sheds light on a dark subject.  Since she was so brave...I will be also....I suffer from Bipolar I which is the far more severe form of the disease.  Fortunately, my medications keep the disorder under control...for the most part.  I actually prefer the older term, manic depression.  Bipolar makes those with the condition sound like we have a winter house at the North Pole and a summer house in Antartica.  Look for an essay by Bratprince sometime in the near future regarding the disease)!
