Catherine Zeta-Jones has been treated for manic depression over the stress of her husband Michael Douglas\u2019s battle against cancer.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old actress was admitted last Wednesday to the Silver Hill psychiatric hospital, where she reportedly shared a ward with alcoholics and drug addicts.<\/p>\n

She stayed for five days, joining 10 to 15 others in the \u00a3770-a-day detox centre at the hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut.<\/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 publicist confirmed that she had received mental health treatment to help her cope with her traumatic personal life.<\/p>\n

\u2018After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the
\ndecision to check into a mental health facility for a brief stay to
\ntreat her bipolar II disorder,\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n

\u2018She\u2019s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on two upcoming films.\u2019<\/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

Douglas, with whom she has two young children,
\nlast year battled stage four throat cancer, enduring both chemotherapy and
\nradiation.<\/p>\n

The 66-year-old, who was today seen shopping for groceries in New York,
\nannounced in January that doctors had declared him free of cancer
\nfollowing six months of gruelling treatment. <\/p>\n

The actor accompanied his \u2018emotionally distraught\u2019 wife as she
\nchecked into the hospital under the name Terrie Kirny, the National
\nEnquirer magazine claimed. <\/p>\n

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

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

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

A witness at the hospital told the magazine that the Welsh-born
\nactress, who was made a CBE in February, appeared \u2018happy\u2019 during her
\nstay. <\/p>\n

She apparently joined fellow guests for meals, jogs around the grounds and even poker sessions before bed.<\/p>\n

Miss Zeta-Jones often appeared to be on edge in public during Douglas\u2019s treatment for throat cancer.<\/p>\n

She was close to tears at New York\u2019s John F Kennedy airport after
\nshe reportedly cut short a visit to the UK when her husband\u2019s
\nconditioned worsened.<\/p>\n

In February, she flew into a rage at a photographer in London,
\nclaiming he hit her as she and Douglas returned to their hotel after
\ndinner. <\/p>\n

The Enquirer also quoted an observer who said she had \u2018really put the
\nred wine away\u2019 during two recent visits with Douglas to a Manhattan
\nrestaurant.<\/p>\n

Miss Zeta-Jones claimed in 2004 that a stalker\u2019s threats against her
\nleft her so shaken that she feared she would have a nervous breakdown.<\/p>\n

The Enquirer quotes a family source as saying: \u2018It\u2019s been the most
\ndifficult year of her life. She\u2019s been through hell! The pressure has
\nbeen almost unbearable.\u2019<\/p>\n

Claiming that the actress had suffered \u2018more sleepless nights than
\nyou could possibly know\u2019 worrying about her husband, the source added:
\n\u2018Catherine had a lot of trouble coping. She was chain-smoking and
\ndrinking.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was tearing Catherine apart to see such a vital man as Michael in such a weakened state. I think she was crumbling.\u2019<\/p>\n

Miss Zeta-Jones said as much in an interview last September in which
\nshe spoke of the pain of watching her husband dealing with cancer and
\nher \u2018fury\u2019 that doctors did not spot it earlier.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s stress levels will not have been helped by moves this
\nweek by Douglas\u2019s first wife, Diandra, to revive her court battle for a
\nshare of\u00a0 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
\nactress’ upcoming film projects include Playing the Field, a comedy
\nstarring Gerard Butler, Dennis Quaid Jessica Biel, and Dali, a biopic
\nwith Antonio Banderas.<\/p>\n
