The Psychiatrist Did It!
Filed under: Heather Locklear
Apparently, Heather Locklear's psychiatrist was the one that phoned police Saturday night when she feared for Heather's safety.
If she wasn't suicidal before, she may be now that everybody thinks she's crazy!
After speaking with Locklear on the phone, the psychiatrist called 911 because she suspected Heather was upset and believed she might have overdossed on anti-depression medication.
The call was listed as a suicide attempt, and paramedics were dispatched.
Luckily when they arrived, Heather was OK.
Let's hope she really is OK and not messing around with any type of pills.
Talk about your depression, don't drown it away with meds!

Your statement is ridiculous - what are you now, a psychiatrist?

Stay the fuck away from those antidepressants. They will fuck you up for life. Get off those meds now Heather. I'll pray for you.
why didn't her shrink just go over to her house if he/she was so concerned instead of sitting on their ass?
I miss her.I just was watching her on Melrose Place.Get well.
FIRST?

AGAIN YERA AND TONKA!
What is going on with Hollywood people lately, it's getting out of hand! Too crazy…
dude who cares
It is spelled OVERDOSED rather than overdosSed. I recommend double checking your blogs for spelling mistakes. (Just a thought).
I'm guessing I'm going to be 8th.
firssssssssssst
Didn't know she was having issues. That's too bad but here's a tip for you. Get a normal life. Dating and marrying rock stars is not normal and never works. It can't work. Period.
Find a nice investment banker or hedge fund manager. Show biz folk do not live in reality and are probably the most fucked up people on earth so why would you want to marry another one time after time? Come back to earth where the rest of us live.
first
Well, she is an actress. Perhaps she was performing for the police!?
perez, why are you such a hypocrite? you put down tom cruise for going against meds then you tell locklear not to mess with them?
no one ever wants to listen to TomKat!
i'm not a scientologist but i do know those drugs are VERY DANGEROUS. look what happened to heath and anna and renfro. they didnt just od on pain pills, it was the anti depressants mixed with them.
thats all!
You are all idiots if you think that this chick does not do drugs. Come on, Tommy Lee??? Richie Sambora?? You think these dudes are straight??? Of course she gets high!
Heather misses the STIFF DICK that Tommy Lee gave her on a regular basis - she is just having withdrawls from COCKUS ERECTUS syndrome
16th?
""Talk about your depression, don't drown it away with meds!""
Dangerous advice. Talk therapy is great but when you are clinically depressed, you need meds. When you feel better from the meds, talk therapy works better.
ILOVE PEREZZI
Wow if SHE is suicidal- what can the rest of do?? She is pretty, talented and rich. See money and power don't buy happiness!
Hang in there sweetie. Get a new shrink who doesn't kiss your ass and call the cops. You'll be okay. It's all temporary.
Hard to imagine someone so beautiful, successful and sweet could be depressed…just goes to show nobody is immune to depression. I wish her the best.
does anyone know about the bag she's holding in that pic? i need to get my hands on it…
See, you can bitch about this post all you want, but Perez is going some small way towards removing the stigma surrounding depression, and that's nothing if not admirable.
Wait…..what? There is so much of this story missing. I'm confused.
Crazy Crack Whore
A fake overdose. She must have a book or reality tv show she is trying to sell.
On the next Larry King, Heather Locklear and her lifelong battle with depression, anorexia, alcohol and drug abuse, and being sexually molested as a child.
Chemical imbalance, is that not what pills are for, depression caused by a physical abnormality in the brain whether temporary or long term….No amount of talk will cure diabeties, only insulin as a bandaid, the same factors are prevalent here…there is already a stigma with anti depressants..thanks for making it worse…should we call you perez cruise???
Richie Sambora is an asshole. I'm glad things didn't work out for him and Locklear's bitch husband stealing ex-friend.
Perez did not say, "don't take meds", rather, he said "don't drown in meds". That is different. Drown means overdosing in meds. No one should overdose in meds and think of it as last resort.
Go natural folks, pharm-meds are contaimnated and made specially to interrupt normal & natural rythmns in our systems.
I wonder, who would appreciate your biased comments more, Brooke Shields or Tom Cruise
Re: Yak –
r u kidding?? as if all investment/financial people are "normal". kettle meet pot!
& thank u perez for listening to us last time and refraining from "loca" comments.
man, if heather locklear is depressed, then what the hell am i?
LIFE SUCKS WE'RE JUST GONNA DIE ANYWAY
First Richie is in rehab and now Heather is suicidal? Poor Ava. I feel sorry for Heather if this is true. At the same time though, what is she sooo depressed over that she's willing to leave behind her only child? She has more money than God, a beautiful daughter, friends, Jack Wagner, a career …… what is making her sooooo unhappy?! geez. I swear to God, it seems that poor people who struggle have a stronger will to survive than these rich f*cking celebrities that want for NOTHING.
What are you going to tell the woman next? To take vitamins instead of antidepressants? Bad form, Perez, bad form. Don't go Scilon on us. And leave the medical advice to the professionals.
Re: Jackie –
Horse shit!
mario, add to your resume besides, pedohile & sycophant; irresponsible. what are you? a bloated lonely tom cruise? mario, have you been doing the scientology?
The doctor told her that her face couldn't handle anymore plastic surgery. the next one could make it fall of like Micheal jackson's nose. Now instead of the usual blurry camera lenses they will have to smear vasaline on them and have her stand 100 yards away to get the same beauty look! Who cares
her career i like dead, i mean..
she was on HANNAH M0NTANNA!
the dumbest show on tv-lmao
no wonder she wanted to commit suicide after watching miley cyrus on stage
Well, her shrink did the right thing. Better safe than sorry (remembering Heath Ledger, rest his soul).
Dear Perez and everyone else who may read this IF YOUR NOT A PSYCHIATRIST OR ACTUALLY SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION DON'T ACT LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT IT LIKE!! Depression is a REAL disease like cancer or HIV. It not something you can always treat with pills, and I mean medication. So if you have a problem with medication why don't you go all preechy when it comes to cancer treatment or other medication?? If I'd listen to your advice Perez about throwing away my pills I'd litterary die. So please don't act like you know anything about this Perez. Thanks
Boo-fucking-hoo. What does Heather Locklear have to be depressed about?
She needs to donate some cash to charity or spend some quality time doing some volunteer work and get out of her Self so she can see that she is incredibly lucky and that there are much bigger issues at hand.
Heather is in need of a really good SCREWING - the kind that will make her scream — should set everything back to normal. Maybe a good ANAL EXPANSION will provide her the therapy she needs.
What happened? Did pretty girl become distraught after she broke a nail???
You don't know anything about depression, you stupid, fat fuck.
While I do sympathize and don't know what's wrong, it can only be compounded by the fact that she too is getting older and it's time for other beautiful younger girls to shine in show biz. I'm working my way thru my own aging issues & it's hard as hell when you're anonymous - imagine how it'd be to navigate thru it when you were the hot girl for nearly 30 yrs.
first off perez, people with depression need meds. depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain… with no meds you feel MORE shitty and more likely to commit suicide or try to hurt yourself. second off who fuckin cares about these stupid celebs anymore anyways!?
She's really pretty
Talk therapy alone does NOT get rid of severe depression/major depressive disorder. NOR do pills by themselves.
THEY MUST BE USED IN TANDEM!!!
Seriously, this is one point I must totally disagree with Perez on. It is very, very dangerous to tell people to not take their meds if they're extremely depressed–trust me on this one. Please, people, don't comment on these kinds of things unless you've LIVED THROUGH THEM!!
She had the love of her life snatched from her and she's a legend in Hollywood. She, like Owen Wilson, have experienced fame first hand. And you know what? It ain't what it's cracked up to be. Look at Britney. Stay focused. You're right Perez. Talking about one's depression is the step to curing it. Not more meds and numbing yourself. I've worked for the suicide prevention hot line in San Diego and know this to be true. If only people had a crystal ball and could visualize how fantastic the future could be for them. EVERY DAY IS A GIFT, THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED, "THE PRESENT." Live it, breath it, Love it!
Re: Tia – She is gorgeous for closing in on 50!
Re: DON"T JUDGE – Hey, I said a "nice" one. I could've said a fireman, teacher or accountant but do you think she would date or marry someone who didn't make 3 or 4 million a year? Not that princess.
What would Heather have to be depressed over? She's beautiful and wealthy. I should be so lucky…
Have you ever been severely depressed? I doubt it, because, if so, you'd KNOW that talk therapy alone IS NOT A CURE, nor does it help that much! Many antidepressants that are out now DO NOT NUMB THE PAIN–trust me. I tried talk therapy for TWO YEARS and never saw a light until I combined it with medication. It is impossible to look to the future when you are SOOO SEVERELY DEPRESSED and suicidal you can't see anything positive. I sincerely hope that you've never told anyone who's called in to stop their meds!!
if people like SHE is suicidal, then there truly is no fucking hope for the rest of us! LOL!
Re: AngryWhiteGirl –
Do the words "chemical imbalance" mean anything to you? Why do you think people take meds? You could be the richest and/or best-looking person out there and still be depressed–it's a disease!!
Didn't Richie Samora dump her for Denise Richards? Yuk…..Heather deserves better. She should look at getting a therapist that will focus on what constitutes healthy relationships. So the next time she knows what she is getting herself into. The combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and daily exercise has been proven to be as effective as antidepressants. I bet Heather is peri menopausal and having major hormone shifts. In which case hormones not antidepressants.
I can't believe some of the ignorant comments that have been left here! Open your minds, people. You can have everything and still be depressed. Clinical depression is a chemical imbalance. Meds are used to create a balance again.
As for Perez's very Tom Cruise-ish meds comment- I hope you didn't mean it the way it came out. It is important that people with depression know that taking medication is ok. There is nothing wrong with being medicated, as long as you do it properly. Its comments like these that can stop people from seeking treatment or accepting medication as part of their treatment. Don't comment on what you don't know.
As someone who has suffered from clinical depression, I agree that talking about it is indeed very important, but meds really help if they're used properly. They don't "drown" anything away, they can help to restore chemical balance in the brain. Many people just don't get that depression (the clinical kind) is not just a "hey cheer up" kind of thing!
Re: deedee –
CBT and exercise are two key ingredients, but depending on which studies you look at–anyone can cherry-pick to find results to back them up! Some people simply will not get better without medication. Modifying behaviors and thinking patterns helps, as do the chemicals released during exercise. As for your statment about "being proven"–again, you can find a study out there to back just about anything. Until you've lived with MDD for several years, and have tried combinations of absolutely anything, you cannot say what will work for everyone. Just as everyone has different tastes, everyone has different things that truly work for them. As for HRT–you need to be careful about that, too, since that can be incredbily dangerous to some women! Why would you advise that, after so many doctors have cut back on prescribing it for good reason? People need to work with their doctors, no matter what.
This is so shocking…I never would have thought that Heather was anything but happy-go-lucky. She is like Owen Wilson in that it seems everyone really likes them and they seem like they have it all but they're depressed anyhow. God, where does that leave the rest of us? I hope she feels better soon…she's an awesome lady and she has so much going for her! Good luck Heather!!
While I agree that overdosing is obviously stupid, your end comment was ridiculously out of line. A couple of my super close friends have deepression and anti-depressants are a key part of treatment for many people. Seeing as I assume you don't have a medical degree so I doubt you have the right to make such incredibly misinformed comments like that. Next time try doing some research on antidepressants before you speak. Otherwise you just seem exactly like tom cruise when he said postpartum depression could be cured with vitamins.
there should be a law against the police leaking information like this and there should be laws and hefty fines for anyone who prints it.
people are (and will be) increasingly fearful of calling 911 now because it will become public. its just wrong. they are there to PROTECT. something needs to be done. i love goss as much as the next but not at this price.
i dont WANT to know about this. I SHOULDNT know about this and YOU shouldnt write about it.

Saying "Don´t drown it away with meds" is just like trying to keep people from taking antibiotics. Depression is mostly about chemistry in your brain, and if you are in to deep Meds may be the ONLY solution. Please stop this dangerous prejudice!!!

yuck…cunt…deserves it…now u know…..always been a crazy cunt…D.R. is going to be vindicated..so is R.S…..CRAZY MEAN CUNT…and a narcissist….I feel terrible for ava.
Menopause strikes again. For all you young thangs out there who think it won't happen to you…think again. Depression and anxiety are a peri-menopausal woman's worst nightmare come true. Even if you've never felt sad a single day in your life before…prepare yourself for the eminent hormonal-torture of your lives. Statistically…most of you will suffer through it emotionally.
Perez your statement about not curing depression with meds is AS RIDICULOUS AS saying go to Church because it will heal your gayness. You're a stigmatizing moron. SHAME ON YOU!
QUIT WAFFLING AND MAKE UP YOUR MIND SWEET-CHEEKS! NASTY BLONDIE NEEDS TO GO TO HEAVEN NOW!!! THE FACE OF LOREAL IS TURNING BLUE… THE BON JOVI CUM-SPONGE IS DRYING UP… T.J. HOOKER ON A 10-56 CALL… NO MORE RENT CONTROL ON MELROSE… THE MORE I CONTEMPLATE THIS WORTHLESS BITCHES' VAPID LIFE, THE LESS I CAN SEE A REASON FOR HER TO CONTINUE LIVING. SHE IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE NANCY REAGAN– AND THAT SHIT IS JUST GOING TO KEEP GETTING LESS AND LESS VIDEO-TAPABLE (as no one is ever going to waste film on her ass again)… PERHAPS A BIG EXIT MIGHT DO HER SOME GOOD.
DO NOT TAKE THEM!!! THEY ARE DESIGNED TO SAP EVERY OUNCE OF HUMANITY AND INDIVIDUALITY THAT YOU HAVE IN YOU!!!! YOU WILL BECOME ONE OF THE STUMBLING ZOMBIE MASSES– LIKE DAWN OF THE DEAD! DO NOT TAKE THOSE PILLS PEOPLE!!! JUST TRY TO DEAL WITH IT ON YOUR OWN!!!! GO TO THE GYM!!!! GO FOR A WALK!!!! JUST DON'T TAKE THE FUCKING PILLS- IT WILL BE THE LAST TIME YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THIS LIFETIME. THEY WILL TURN YOU INTO A WALKING DEAD. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE SHRINKS AND DO-GOODeRS ON THIS POST!!! DUMP YOUR PILLS IN THE TOILET AND FLUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leggy Blonde, Goodbye… Goodbye…
IF YOU KILL YOURSELF IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS!
Why is this public knowledge?
Re: STOP!!! WE NEED A LAW!! –
THEY FUCKING POST THAT SHIT– IT IS THE FUCKING LAW YOU STUPID CUNT!!! SUICIDAL ASSHOLES SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE FUCKING SHAME AND EMBARRASSMENT BEFORE THEY GIVE IT A FUCKING SHOT– NOT AFTER!!! FUCK YOU AND YOUR SENSITIVE BULLSHIT ADVICE. COPS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MOP UP BLONDIE'S BLOOD JUST BECAUSE HER OXY-CONTIN SCRIP RAN OUT. FUCK HER, TOO BAD SHE FAILED.
THIS STUPID FUCKING CUNT CAN LIE ALL SHE WANTS ABOUT WHAT "HAPPENED", BUT HER SHRINK MADE THE CALL– SO THAT TENDS TO NEGATE BLONDIE'S SELF DIAGNOSIS ON THE MATTER. IF I WERE HEATHER LOCKLEAR I WOULD PROBABLY KILL MYSELF TOO. WHEN YOU HAVE REACHED THE PINNACLE OF HUMAN EXISTENCE: HAVING RICHIE SAMBORA BLAST YOUR STUPID, FROZEN BOTOX FACE WITH ROCK-GOD CUM– EVERY DAY THEREAFTER IS BUT A SAD, DARK ECHO OF WHAT SHALL NEVER BE POSSIBLE EVER AGAIN. TAKE YOUR MORTAL CUE, WHORE- AND SEE IF YOU CAN GIVE OUT A FEW BLOWJOBS IN HEAVEN.
WHO..CARES..
Yeah, don't drown it away with meds! Drown it away with food, like Perez does!
Don't be so quick to judge, Perez et al. - those "meds" can help save your life - they saved mine, with the help of a good therapist and good friends/family - there are many people who really need meds for depression - it's a real illness with dangerous consequences if left untreated. Good luck & get well Heather!
Re: HEY YOU FUCKING RETARD!!! –
sounds like YOU need some meds, Friendo.
nice use of the C word. maybe jane fonda and eve ensler can write you into the next v monologues, you sorry boy
Of all people. Heather Locklear was always well grounded. She is a great and sought after actress. She is very beautiful and I'm sure the Bon Jovi group still keeps in touch with her. Some of you are idiots on this board. I personally like Perez, he calls it like he sees it. I love Heather Locklear and hope she gets well. Did her latest boyfriend break it off? I wonder. He was gorgeous. She is a sweet heart.
To all you armchair doctors,please,do not be harsh on people suffering with mental illness. This is serious stuff.Its very obvious that alot of you have never experinced the deep anquish of depression,seriously would you poke fun at someone in a wheelchair a disease is a disease.No wonder people who suffer with mental difficulties are still hiding in the closet.Perez I m truely shocked at your comment.Remember,mental illness can happen to anyone at anytime.Sorry to have to go all serious but this mentally has to change,its bad enough that cult Cruise is involved in doesn,t help matters.Sometimes the human body can handle so much,so if your heathy and happy,be thankful,because the other choice sucks big time.
Re: deedee – No! No! No! She dumped Richie, and was screwing around with David what's his name! Richie hooked up with Denise months after and yes it was in bad taste, but Heather is not the saint everyone thinks she is, she is just better at hiding her down falls up untill now.
As a mental health social worker I feel the responsibility to point out your irresponsibility in advising someone who is clinically depressed to not follow
their psychiatrist's prescribed medication regimen. Yes, talking/therapy helps, but depression is a disease for which there are many medications that can offer relief where therapy alone might not. You hopefully wouldn't tell someone with diabetes not to use insulin or someone with a staph infection to not take medications and just "talk". Understanding that depression is a treatable disease will help reduce the stereotypes and stigma that surround it.
Ok, off my soap box. 99% of the time you rock. Keep up the good work.
Re: DEPRESSION MEDS WILL TURN YOU INTO A ZOMBIE!!!!!! – you're SUCH a douche
Maybe she just had a bad flashback. I know for a fact that she dropped a lot of acid when she was with Tommy Lee.. His trip was cocaine & hers was LSD. It was all good if they both had their stash, but look out if 1 of them didn't! If she couldn't fry-he couldn't fly. Ummm, drugs are bad, MmmK
Sounds like it's time she got a new doctor…
HEATHER LOCKLEAR IS STILL SO FUCKIN HOTTT
I really hope she is okay…she is a wonderful actress. I have been down that road and nearly succeeded (twice) and it is awful……i pray she is okay
I love her. I hope she is ok. I've seen her in lots of interviews and she seems very genuine. I am also the biggest Melrose Place fan ever.
Re: K – maybe she thinks her career is over. I don't know though Amanda Woodward and Melrose Place to return if you ask me.
Antidepressants help millions of people, Perez. When there's a chemical imbalance in your brain, no amount of talking can help. It's ignorant and dangerous for you to make these comments–there is already a huge stigma attached to taking medication for depression–people shouldn't be embarrassed or afraid if that's really what they need.
We should start calling you Perez Cruise.
