Britney Spears was recently detained for mental evaluationafter her bizarre standoff with police. The songstress was thought to have a multiple personality disorder, as she often begins talking with different accents and we are all familiar with her storied, recent past. Well, Babs has the latest news.

ApparentlyBarbara Walters received a call from Britney Spears’ manager and her “very good friend” Sam Lufti. Barbara said Sam told her that Britney has been to a psychiatrist and is now receiving treatment for “mental issues which are treatable.”

That’s really good to know. No one should have to suffer through mental issues, celebrity or not. Plus, I feel good that she’s receiving treatment on issues that are treatable versus receiving treatment for issues that are not. That would be a waste of time and earn her a permanent trip to the funny farm.

Babs also added that Britney is having “mood swings” and has trouble sleeping. And at this point, I think that’s safe to assume.
