As someone with a mentally ill relative, I find this case disturbing. One of the things disturbing is how many people openly speak of allowing the mentally ill to make life altering decisions as if they weren’t mentally ill.
Being able to perform on a stage doesn’t shout out to me that this is someone able to take care of herself. Maybe it is and if that’s the case, she has to convince a psychiatric team that she’s able to be independent.

3xactly. Being on stage, doing the same routine day after day IS NO Showing the ability to handle yourself day to day living. Let alone raise a child. Kids get sick, ask unscripted questions, fall, cut themselves, poop themselves, get stubborn, wont eat their vegtablea. All of this isnt rehearsed!!

I’m gonna say no. It’s the other way around, I understand you have family circumstances. But burden of proof about someone who should have freedom taken from them should not be to prove that they are sane. The burden of proof should be rightly on those who legally desire conservatoship.

They are beyond that point. Whatever she's done in the past has convinced her relatives, psychiatrists and a court that she's not able to take care of herself. That's why there's already a conservatorship.
Now she has to reverse the process but now she only really needs to convince the psychiatrists. The court will side with that opinion. My guess is she's angling for the court to give her another psychiatric team for a new evaluation.

I don’t understand this story. Why doesn’t she just quit performing?

I think we’ve all forgotten the death spiral she was in. She had NUMEROUS encounters with police that ended with her on 5150 holds. And, these encounters often involved incidents where she was acting unpredictably with her children in her home. There’s a reason that even before this conservatorship was initiated, she had already lost custody of her children and in fact, was only allowed SUPERVISED visits. She was in real danger of being institutionalized on a more permanent basis. The conservatorship was a way to allow her to avoid institutionalized care.

Britney Spears has profound mental health issues. Those issues don’t remediate themselves. They’re life-long. While I agree there is ample evidence that stewards of her conservatorship may need additional oversight from the court or changed altogether, I don’t think anyone should forget how she got where she is.

I read a little about this. Spears works 7 days a week, 10 hours a day. She is not allowed to turn down any appearance or she is labeled “uncooperative” and threatened with changing/upping medication. She is not allowed to pick her own attorneys or doctor. She’s not allowed artistic freedom, if she objects to a dance move, she is again labeled “uncooperative” and threatened. She earns millions yearly and is, in effect, paying her jailers. Why would they free her?

Effectively, she has.

Her father has claimed in the court documents that Britnney has dementia. This is demonstrably false. If you keep to the technicalities of the case you can see what they are doing to her.

Once diagnosed they kept her doped. While doped she could not demonstrate competency. Her attorney has been paid by the conservatorship. I believe that her father ‘s strategy is at long last failing.

As you read comments on her case, take note of those who are ignorant of her fortune in the perfume business. That is where the money is. Discount those who believe that her musical career has anything whatsoever to do with it.

Y ou may also discount those who make generalized statements about mental illness or celebrity parents. The particulars of her case are not secret. If I may be permitted to offer a generalization, with respect, there can be no constitutional right of any kind without protection against the mere allegation of “mental illness.”

“Spears works 7 days a week, 10 hours a day”
This is very hard to believe.

"They are beyond that point. Whatever she's done in the past has convinced her relatives, psychiatrists and a court that she's not able to take care of herself. That's why there's already a conservatorship."

You're not taking into account one very big difference here than most though, that is the money involved. Her father is getting rich off her, all her money he controls and he gets paid huge bucks over this charade. He's the driving force behind the involvement, and he is benefiting hugely from it, and is the reason why I think he needs to be removed from his role immediately and given to a neutral third party.

Is Brittany mentally unstable? I believe at one time yes, but I also believe that her circumstances and surroundings with the money and fame were environmental, and not naturally occurring. Do you think she would have been like she is if she never got picked up by a talent agent? I don't, her circumstances have changed now, her father should be removed immediately and she should be allowed to pursue legal proceedings against him.

“mere allegation of “mental illness.”

Getting a psychiatrist to make this diagnosis is not an allegation. Getting one to change it is also not an allegation.

There have been some very high profile cases with even more money involved. One that didn't go the families way was the DuPonts case.
Getting the psychiatrists to make this kind of diagnosis is not easy. If the father is a problem than the court can remove him and appoint others. Maybe that's what she's asking in this court go round.
