Ironically, those two DUIs might actually end up saving her life. It's unlikely she would have sought treatment for bipolar disorder in the near-term, especially considering the enabling "denialist" she has for a mother.

[what's up]

Nothing mysterious about the high incidence of bi-polar phenomena in the Hollywood community.

One day stars are worshipped as gods...the next they encounter weakness in themselves and realize they are just human. Very few WOULDN'T experience mood swings.

In fact, a society ruled by secular humanism will, of course, be a society where bi-polarism is everywhere. Society teaches we are all-powerful, but our nature tells us we are not.

Atheist Russia had all kinds of "mental institutions". As socialism creeps forward in the US, we have our share of mind drugs and treatments as well.

"...a mental disorder that causes wild mood swings when she goes into rehab..."

It's called withdrawals.
