(Long Island, N.Y.) Britney Spears friend and manager Sam Lutfi made a call to Barbara Walters to inform her that the singer/actress has been to a psychiatrist to help her get through some “mental issues” that she has been struggling with the past year.

Walters said in her daytime talk show “The View”, which airs on ABC, that Sam confided in her when he revealed “She has been having mood swings. She’s been having trouble sleeping, and she is in touch with her mother — ’cause we had heard she wasn’t — and her mother has been very supportive of whatever it is that Britney is going to do”. Walters also added that Lutfi stated that Spears has been to a psychiatrist and that she is starting some kind of treatment.

Spears have become the nations leading gossip initiator starting with her divorce from second husband Kevin Federline in 2006. After that divorce, she lost both custody and visitation rights to her children after a judge ruled her incapable of raising her own children. She also has frequented rehabilitation centers for various drug and alcohol addictions. On numerous occasions, Spears has been caught by paparazzi wearing no undergarments and these photos have made headline news across the World.

According to a recent survey among different media outlets across the country, Spears was the number one most profitable celebrity for last year. Francois Navarre, founder of the paparazzi agency X17 said “Britney is the most bankable celebrity out there right now, and she has been for the past year “During the ambulance incident, traffic doubled every hour” regarding the incident in which Britney had a standoff with the Fire and Police department when she lost custody for her children.

Sarah Ivens an editor for OK! Magazine which dedicated a 10-person team in Los Angeles for a Spears Alert as they call it says “An editor’s dream is to have a real life soap opera unraveling in front of you, and Britney provides that every week”

With all these recent problems, Spears has regained her mother’s confidence and the two have been showing support through tough times. Spears and her mother had a public feud through the media years ago when Spears was a dominating Pop star and she had totally neglected her family in return.
