Britney Spears Enters Mental Health Facility

Britney Spears has had the spotlight on her mental health ever since the paparazzi captured her infamous shaved head breakdown back in 2007. In the years since, Spears has been forthcoming about her challenges and the pressures of the entertainment industry. Now, as reported by TMZ , she has checked herself into a psychiatric facility to cope with emotional distress in response to her father's ongoing health crisis. Jamie Spears has reportedly undergone a series of surgeries to repair a life-threatening colon rupture.

In a heartfelt Instagram post shared last January, she elaborated on her father's situation and explained that she would be postponing her Las Vegas residency to care of her father:

In an Instagram post from just earlier today, she addressed her recent struggles, writing: "We all need to take time for a little "me time." :)"

Spears was admitted into treatment last week and will stay there for 30 days.
