Delta Burke Joins Britney Spears as Celebrities Are Being Checked in to the Psych Ward

Just when I thought I had enough of hearing about Britney Spear's problems and the fact that, not only was she checked into the psychiatric ward "America's Analyst" Dr. Phil had his own regrets over the fact that those in Britney's camp were coming after him for trying to capitalize off of her illness I now hear that Delta Burke has checked herself into the hospital. This comes as a shock to me because I have known for Delta Burke for anything but erratic or eccentric behavior; as one of the cast of "Designing Women" she went on to have her own self-titled sitcom in 1992, Delta.

What most may not know, is that Delta Burke went on record on the Barbara Walters show discussing the drama behind the scenes of the cast of "Designing Women" and was let out of her contract early, and also suffered from issues over weight gain and type-2 diabetes. In fact her struggles with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder seem to mirror that of Sally Brampton, a British actress who has also checked herself into the psychiatric ward, and suffered from failed suicide attempts as well as the side effects of such drugs as Venlafaxine and Lithium. She has written a book "Shoot the Damn Dog", detailing her journey.


Justin Chambers has checked himself into a hospital earlier this week. Of course if you actually watch "Grey's Anatomy" on a regular basis, it wouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone because he plays a neurotic character on the show that well. He is in the same hospital that Britney was being held at. Speaking of Britney, you're hard pressed to find information on anyone other than her when it comes to having been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, which is sad, because it happens a lot more often than anyone is really willing to admit, and a lot more people out there really need help than we'll ever be willing to admit.
