Psych Wards Are The New Rehab
Filed under: Z List
First Britney. Then Justin Chambers.
Now, Delta Burke is the latest celebrity to check in to a psychiatric hospital.
Spears went in for bipolar disorder. The Grey's Anatomy doc went in for insomnia.
And Delta?
The Designing Women alum checked in to the psych ward for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and "hoarding."
Burke says that being a pack rat has ruined her life.

1st and worst
Fat Bitch,,makes my skin crawl…
rat pack?
I think you mean a pack rat…
5th…ahh who cares?
Perez by golly I think you've got a new slogan for a t-shirt…
1st
I don't have the hoarding/OCD condition, but i've seen what it can do to people and its gruesome…keeping garbage, not able to throw out anything like old pizza boxes, empty toothpaste containers and even used bandaids (I'm not saying Delta has done that but I've seen folks who have)…I hope she gets the help/meds she needs to combat this..it can easily ruin a life and its so embarrassing…
well DUH psych wards pumps you full o drugs!
Who? o_O
Mental illness isn't something to be ashamed of. I'm poud of these people for dealing with such private issues the best they can in the public eye. I wish everyone well.
do you suppose getting treatment from doctors who have worked "in the trenches" could possibly yield better results than a frillyfroofroo rehab center?
1st
I love Delta Burke…GET WELL SOON!
i believe the expression is "pack rat".

Sounds like she has too much money and too much time. So sad
Oh leave her alone. For Gods sake, she's not running around displaying her vajayjay or playing with a baby doll with a clown face painted on. Sometimes people need help. Remember, at one time homosexuality was considered a mental illness. Society would have chained you to a tree Perez. I don't know what they would have done about your hair!
Since when do you need to check yourself into a hospital because you are a hoarder??? She needs to just talk to a therapist and get her shit together.
separated at birth: delta burke - amy lee (evanescence)
:P
haha being a PACK RAT….she wasnt in the RAT PACK?
WTF IS THIS
TEAM BRITNEY!LUTFI TO DEATH!
Re: tash –
Obviously you don't know too much about OCD and the lengths people can take it to and how far beyond out of their control it can get.
hehe ..pack rat perez;-)
xoxo
Perez, I think you mean "Pack Rat". LOL just saying…..
I wish her well. I also wish she'd check right into a fat farm when she's out of the psyche ward. She's actually quite beautiful and should get her shit together.
Women go nuts if they're over 24 and not married with kids, over 555 and don't have grandkids to distract them being old and on death's door. -Geigh
None of us are doctors, we don't know what causes people to flip out, but isn't it good there are hospitals with psych wards that let people get their lives back together? Sometimes it's all about getting some sleep and rest.
she's like a fat dita von teese.
Accept your age and you'll be happy, you old hag!
There is no such thing as mental illness. Just immature people.
YOU NEED TO GROW UP!!!
Checking into a psych ward because you hoard? Jesus Christ, talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water. Hollywood, and the rest of America, is full of pathetic losers.
I think she's hoarding Restalayne in her cheeks!
Uh, don't you mean:
FIRST Justin Chambers. Then Britney Spears. Now, Delta Burke. Considering Justin checked in the DAY BEFORE Britney?
I wonder if the shrink will let her pay with plastic? Like her face!
who knew she was frank sinatra?
it's pack rat. lord, the proofing on this site is getting worse and worse.
Thanks for continuing to perpetuate the predjudice against mental illness Perez!! I love you and your site but ease up and please get back to superfical gossiping. All these deep and personal judgements on people and their struggles is just getting so sad.
A PACK RAT! NOT A RAT PACK…FUCKING FRANK SINATRA…SAMMY DAVIS JR.?
Sorry but no one realy cares about Delta except for old people. who else would watch Designing Women?
how is it possible to be OCD AND a pack rat? Oxymoron. Pick one. (it's not "rat pack"…you are thiking Sinatra)
Wish you well, Delta! She is actually quite a sweet lady and has been dealing with these issues for quite some time. Glad you are getting help and take care!
Re: Voice Of Reason – "There is no such thing as mental illness. Just immature people" ummm…WHAT????? how can you say that? I suffered from a mental illness myself and can tell you first hand it is very hard to deal with. it is people like you who make people like me so afraid to get the help they need. In now way should a person be ashamed of something they have no control over but it happens so often. People don't get the help they need because they are scared people will ridicule them.
it's PACK RAT you asshole.
Dont'cha mean "Pack Rat"…?
Re: Voice Of Reason – You are a complete idiot
i worked psych for along time….hoarding is one of the first indicators of schizophrenia.
Re: Loquatz – Perez can't help it - He's just reporting on what's out there. It's HOLLYWOOD that getting sad - what is wrong with these people?!? It's really getting depressing (psych ward - here I come!) BTW, P - you forgot to mention Owen Wilson in your write-up. He was TOTALLY 5150!!
Poor Delta. She's a nice lady, I wish her the best. I think she just needs to divorce that Republican husband.
Delta, What happened to you? You were great on Designing Women. Depression, come on. Every one gets upset sometimes. And a pack rat. You can hire people to help you go through things. I hope she gets the help she needs.
it is pack rat not rat pack..unless she thinks she is sammy davis jr.
It's well known that Delta is an old school train wreck, but it's awfully suspicious that since she is coming out with a new tv show, that all of a sudden she's running to a psych ward. She should be running to the jenny 20 program.
How about 'pack rat?' You so silly!
No, no, no, it was not Britney. it was Justin Chambers who was first. It's no
matter they are all getting the help they need. But, don't go saying Brit was
first! She should HAVE been. She is really sick. Justin might have seen what
Heath went through and got help BEFORE Britney checked in. Hell, he was checking OUT when she was CHECKING IN. So let's get the story straight!
No one is proud but, hey you have do what you have to do. All for different
reasons. Rehab serves another purpose. Hell, I am a horder myself. I may check myself in. Shiz!
I am sick of these wack doctors telling everyone they are bi polor, its getting old. This type of illness is not as common as anxiety. Its obvious the pharmarcy companies are just trying to have high sales. Its fucking sick! I know someone that works for phizer and they are the most irresponsible fucks that give money to hush people up. QUESTION Authority! ALWAYS! DO NOT BE A MINDLESS PERSON
Re: cece – that is not true at all. I have ocd and hoarding is NOT the beginning of anything else. God-do your research people are so fucking ignorant.
Don't you mean Pack Rat, you fucking fat freak?
She looks like a gerbil is what she looks like!
Re: Jenny Seminar – omg you are even worse. have you HAD depression??? its not just being upset…its much more than that. Don't talk about something you know nothing about it only makes you sound pathetic. And hoarding…no you cant just hire someone to go through your shit it means much more than that to people with ocd LIKE MYSELF!
Wow. I love Delta. This is sad. The "hoarding" thing is very difficult to treat; it takes months/years of behavioral therapy to overcome it. I hope wherever she checked in they have someone who specializes in this. Very sad.
it's pack rat perez you idiot.
lmao. rat pack…her and sinatra. so dumb.
i THINK YOU MEANT "PACK RAT" LOL
understandable, its a tough lifestyle for the rat pack
Please stop saying "who?" If you really have never heard of Delta Burke go to google or imdb. Both are very easy to use. And to the poster who said only old people like 'Designing Women', I like the show and I am 30. I guess I'm old!
I would think it was bad plastic surgery that ruined her life.
Hoarding? I wonder what her house looks like!
