Britney Spears Hospitalize for Psychiatric Evaluation Again

Britney Spears was hospitalized again for a psychiatric hold at UCLA Medical Center early Thursday. She was transported by ambulance from her Studio City home around 1 a.m.

Britney was transported in a Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance while being escorted by more than a dozen motorcycle officers, two cruisers and two police helicopters to UCLA for treatment and evaluation during a 72-hour emergency hold, known as the California’s “5150 Hold” for the second time in a month!

After the 72-hour treatment, her family can seek a 14-day extended evaluation or patients can decide to seek further treatment, according to ABC News, citing the California Department of Mental Health.

A Spears family source revealed that Britney’s hospitalization was caused by her strange behaviour. “She was driving around her neighborhood like a mad-woman. Britney has been prescribed medication` which she refuses to take. This is just another sad, sad evening.”

Britney’s mother, Lynne, cousin Alli Sims and estrange “manager” Osama Lutfi were all inside the gated mansion when police and fire department arrived.

Lutfi and Spears’s father, Jamie, arrived at the hospital shortly after the singer. Her mother was later spotted leaving the Summit home with Spears’s paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, in the backseat.

Lutfi reveals to People magazine that she was willingly hospitalized.

“She went willingly. It was like something in her heart was telling her she should go. She knew something was wrong.”

Lufti and Sims both denied Internet rumors that claims that the singer had attempted suicide.

Thank god Britney is placed in good hands now!
