In a move no one expected from Catherine Zeta-Jones, the beautiful 41-year-old actress checked into a mental health care center for treatment of a bipolar disorder, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
“Catherine had a lot of trouble coping with Douglas’ cancer. She was chain smoking and drinking,” a source close to Zeta-Jones told the National Enquirer.
“It was tearing Catherine apart to see such a vital man as Michael in such a weakened state… I think she was crumbling.”
Zeta-Jones reportedly checked into the Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut last Wednesday, at $1,250 per day. She has since checked herself out.
"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," a rep for Zeta-Jones said in a statement. "She's feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films."
