Catherine Zeta-Jones has sought treatment in a mental health facility, her spokesperson confirmed today.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old Chicago star spent five days at the Silver Hill Hospital near New Canaan, Connecticut, last week.<\/p>\n

Doctors treated the Oscar winner for bipolar II disorder – a psychiatric condition that involves extreme mood swings.<\/p>\n

\n\"Treatment:<\/p>\n

Treatment: Catherine Zeta-Jones, pictured here with her husband Michael Douglas in New York on March 14, was this month treated for bipolar II disorder in a mental health facility<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Her decision to seek help followed a difficult year for the Welsh star and her family.<\/p>\n

Her husband Michael Douglas, with whom she has two young children,
\nbattled stage four throat cancer, enduring both chemotherapy and
\nradiation.\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her spokesperson said in a statement today: ‘After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the
\ndecision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to
\ntreat her bipolar II disorder.<\/p>\n

\n\"Facility:<\/p>\n

Facility: The actress spent five days at the Silver Hill Hospital near New Canaan, Connecticut <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘She\u2019s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films.’<\/p>\n

Douglas, 66, who was today seen shopping for groceries in New York, announced in January that doctors had declared him free of cancer following six months of gruelling treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A friend told America’s People magazine today: ‘There’s no question it’s been a stressful year.<\/p>\n

\n\"Difficult<\/p>\n

Difficult time: Douglas picked up supplies in New York City today<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘<\/span>Catherine has had deal with Michael’s illness and that’s been hard<\/span>. <\/p>\n

\n

WHAT IS BIPOLAR II?<\/span>
<\/h3>\n
\n

A traumatic event can sometimes cause symptoms of the mood-altering illness.<\/p>\n

Experts say patients experience both elevated moods – which may lead to bouts of increased activity – as well as episodes of depression.<\/p>\n

Unlike bipolar I, the ‘up’ moods do not\u00a0 reach full-on levels of mania.<\/p>\n

Rather than descending into deep depressions, patients can be very outgoing, functional and often more productive than normal, one reason why it often goes undiagnosed.<\/p>\n

People in a hypomanic state also often have a decreased need for sleep. They are also said to be at a higher risk of committing suicide.<\/p>\n

It is treatable with medication.<\/p>\n

Dr Michael Roizen, America\u2019s first Chief Wellness Officer, claims genetics can also be a factor.<\/p>\n

\u2018If one or more of your parents has the mood disorder, you are more likely to develop bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\u2018Other contributing factors include stress, illness, death, or a job loss. Also, researchers believe that bipolar disorder may be caused in part by an imbalance in any or all of the brain chemicals norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Sometimes a traumatic event that causes a lot of stress can cause bipolar II disorder to develop. Other possible causes include an abnormal amount of hormones and drug use,\u2019 added a spokeswoman for the US Honour Society of Nursing.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

Douglas, who owns a country residence nearby, is understood to have dropped her at the Silver Hill Hospital on April 6. She checked out on April 11.<\/p>\n

The hospital treats both psychiatric and addictive disorders, including those related to drugs and alcohol.<\/p>\n

It can cost up to $1,250 a day to stay at the residence. <\/p>\n

Zeta-Jones’ illness can be triggered by a traumatic event, according to experts.<\/p>\n

Celebrities who have reportedly battled various forms of bipolar disorder have included Britney Spears, Stephen Fry and Charlie Sheen.<\/p>\n

As well as health battles, the A-list couple have also faced legal woes. <\/p>\n

Just yesterday Douglas’ ex wife Diandra revived a bid for a share of his Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps earnings. <\/p>\n

Her camp pressed a judge to reconsider his view that the
\ncase belongs in California. The couple divorced there in 2000 after 23
\nyears together.<\/p>\n

His lawyer said her client’s ex ‘should be ashamed of herself’ for
\nseeking more when she had already received more than $51 million in
\ntheir divorce settlement.<\/p>\n

Douglas’ adult son Cameron, from his marriage to Diandra, was sentenced to prison last year on drug charges.\n<\/p>\n

Zeta-Jones and Douglas are parents to son Dylan, 10, and daughter Carys, who turns eight on April 20. <\/p>\n

The actress’ upcoming film projects include Playing the Field, a comedy starring Gerard Butler, Dennis Quaid Jessica Biel, and Dali, a biopic with Antonio Banderas.<\/p>\n
