Britney Spears recent release from the UCLA medical center, where she was receiving treatment for an undisclosed psychiatric disorder, has brought mental illness into the forefront. Apparently, Britney visited her attorney upon discharge to discuss the situation. People oftentimes do not realize the legal component to mental health. In Michigan psychiatric matters are handled by the Probate court and is governed by the Michigan Mental Health Code.

Spears may haave brought attention to mental health issues; however, I don't think that she has done so in a positive way. I think that most people are not sympathetic to her plight which detracts from from the many, many people who really have a mental disorder and honestly deserve our sympathy and support. It may seem harsh; however, all of these poor little rich girls (Britney, Nicole, Linsey, etc.) are turning everyone off. Enough already.
