[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A court found Britney needed to be in a conservatorship and she actually had the only stable period in her adult life while under it.  People seem fixated on the LV residency and fine, that should have gone away if it wasn’t what she wanted.  She needed the treatment for her apparently serious mental illness, and like many seriously mentally ill, lacks the capacity to see the need for it.  When she was what you call “heavily medicated,” she was coherent and able to maintain stable relationships with a boyfriend and her children.  Not so now.[/quote]

Yes, but I think there is such a disconnect between her wealth enabling her to technically "take care of herself" and the scope of her illness that it's really hard to address and reconcile. Usually someone with her degree of mental illness would not have financial and logistical resources and be homeless in the streets or living in dangerous hoarder conditions. But she has a maid, an accountant, various people there so that part does not happen, and it feels like she perhaps does not "need" the conservatorship...Except then it also means her mental health needs are going neglected, and this can still endanger her and others.[/quote]

Well yes, but it also seems that people arguing for “ freedom”  don’t have first hand experience with family members or others with serious mental illness.  The illness dramatically affects their ability/competence  to make decisions about what is or isn’t in their best interest. [/quote]

Your assumption is inaccurate. My father has bipolar and drug and alcohol addiction. [/quote]
