Locklear seeking treatment for anxiety, depression

NEW YORK (AP) _ Heather Locklear is seeking treatment for anxiety and depression.

"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression," publicist Sarah Fuller said Tuesday in a statement. "She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment. This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released."

People magazine's Web site reported Tuesday that the 46-year-old actress checked into a facility in Arizona.

Locklear's divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was finalized in April 2007. They have a daughter, Ava Elizabeth. Locklear is reportedly dating former "Melrose Place" co-star Jack Wagner.

Locklear's TV credits include "T.J. Hooker," ''Dynasty" and "Spin City," and her film roles include "The Perfect Man" and "Uptown Girls."
