Britney Spears is probably in the worst phase of her life and as reports of her bad mental state pours in, novelist Danielle Steel shares with us a similar personal experience. Says Danielle, ‘I have also gone through a phase like this, when my 19-year-old son Nick Traina was diagnosed to be suffering from a similar bipolar disorder. He got into deep depressions that led to his suicide in 1997.”
Danielle has requested Britney’s parents to take good care of her. Danielle says, “I feel so sorry for her. If it is the case (that she has bipolar disorder), she can get on track with the right treatment and medication.” She further urges Britney’s parents to be extremely loving and persistent towards their daughter. The author, renowned for her romantic classics, has also called for the U.S. law to be changed, permitting parents of the mentally ill to be committed even against their will.
“Usually bipolars present themselves extremely well and they can bounce into court… look very together and be a complete mess three hours later on the streets somewhere. There’s nothing you (as a parent) can do,” says Danielle.
Will Britney Spears get better very soon and on track again, entertaining her fans all over with her soothing music? Only time can tell.
