Britney Spears' 'mental problems far more severe than people realize': sources

Britney Spears' mental health problems are “more severe than people realize.”

Earlier this week, TMZ reported that Spears’ close friends and family “planned an intervention” to attend to the singer’s deteriorating mental health.

However, despite the growing concern, sources told Page Six that “Nobody outside the very small conservatorship circle knows what Britney’s medical status really is.”

They continued: “If people knew Britney’s actual medical status, I think it would reveal that her mental problems are far more severe than people realize.”

“Regardless of her mental condition, it isn’t necessarily appropriate for her to be under a conservatorship. There are less harsh ways to handle it,” the insider added.

The Toxic singer was placed under a conservatorship in 2008, in which her father, Jamie Spears took over her finances and medical treatment.
