Seems as if it happens to the best of ‘em at some point, but she has endured a helluva year. Michael Douglas wasn’t the only one facing some dark days this year. After supporting her husband during his successful cancer treatment, Douglas’ wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones briefly checked herself into a mental-health facility for treatment of her bipolar disorder, her rep confirmed to E! News. “After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check into a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II Disorder. She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films.” All told, the actress spent about five days at the unidentified facility, a friend of the actress told People. Zeta-Jones is about to start work on a movie and wanted to make sure she was fully prepared for it, said her pal. “There’s no question it’s been a stressful year,” the friend said. “Catherine has had to deal with Michael’s illness and that’s been hard. She went in for a few days because she’s about to start working, and wanted to make sure she’s in top form, which she is.” Glad to hear that she’s back in good shape. Catherine is a beautiful woman and an great actress and we want to see her Welsh cakes back on the silver screen asap. Source
