Catherine Zeta-Jones Enters Facility for Bipolar Disorder Treatment

It's been a year of struggles for Catherine Zeta-Jones, whose husband Michael Douglas recently battled (and recovered from) throat cancer. On Wednesday, the actress's rep confirmed that she has checked into a mental health facility.

"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check into a mental health facility for a brief stay," her rep said. "She's feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films."

The Oscar-winning actress is seeking treatment for Bipolar II disorder, which is characterized by mood swings ranging from hypomania (a period of elevated euphoria or irritability) to depression.

I hope this admirable actress finds the most happiness and health.
