So now that we know Britney Spears definitely suffers from bipolar disorder her behavior makes a little more sense. And new reports show that she has been seeking treatment, but so far it has not helped. TMZ reports that Britney has seen tons of doctors and has been taking medication.

We know that she’s seen a new psychiatrist who has come to her home every day this week and that she’s on medication to treat her bipolar disease. Britney has seen doctors who have been referred by other doctors, plus doctors who have been referred by celebrities Britney knows, and doctors referred by her lawyers, family and friends. We’re told the process has been excruciating for her, partly because her disease is severe.

As for medication, friends say she is the old Britney they know and love when she is on her meds, but she stops taking them when she feels better. TMZ says a professional has told them that her medication “just isn’t working.”

“She’s really trying. Whether it works — we’ll have to see. She has a disease. Sometimes when you see her she’s in the middle of an episode. It’s like mocking someone with Down Syndrome.”

Would it be considered mocking her if we post this picture of her buying laxatives at 5am in the morning in a pink wig?
