Catherine Zeta-Jones checks herself into mental health hospital Actor Catherine Zeta-Jones has checked herself into a mental health facility to deal with her bipolar disorder. A SPOKESWOMAN for Catherine Zeta-Jones says the actor has "proactively" checked into a mental health facility for treatment of her bipolar condition. Publicist Sarah Fuller said in an email late that Zeta-Jones "is committed to periodic care in order to manage her health in an optimum manner." Two years ago, the 43-year-old Oscar-winner checked into a similar facility for a brief stay for treatment of her condition, known as Bipolar II. The disorder is characterised by mood swings and depressive episodes, and is commonly treated with medication and psychotherapy. Zeta-Jones, who is married to actor Michael Douglas, has been one of the busiest talents in show business of late, appearing in such films as Rock of Ages, Playing for Keeps, Broken City and Side Effects. The actress's most recent treatment was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.
