Spears agreed to give Federline sole legal and physical custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, said Federline lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Attorneys for Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline reached an agreement. Under the new agreement, currently awaiting approval from a judge, allows Spears three visits a week including two overnights with potential for more. If all goes well Spears will have 40% of the time with children, her attorney Laura Wasser told The Associated Press. This agreement avoids the need for a trial scheduled for next month to resolve visitation and financial issues.
Earlier this month Spears got admitted in Cedars-Sinal medical center in Los Angeles and was attended by a psychiatrist. This incident happened when Spears refused to hand over her children to her former husband Kevin Federline, in breach of a court order. According to Associated press, for the second time in a month Spears had been taken to hospital. TMZ website indicated that Spears was taken from her Beverley Hills mansion to UCLA medical center and placed under California’s Code 5150 meaning she is considered to pose a danger to herself and others. There were reports that the singer was suffering from bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression. She is being treated for drug addiction and hereditary mental illness. Reports say that Spears mental problem is amid a stressful custody battle with her ex-husband over their two sons. Earlier Federline was granted temporary custody of their children and Spears lost her rights to visit the children as a result of refusal to handover the children back earlier this month.
Commenting on current agreement Wasser, attorney of Spears said “The fact is it’s a win for the family”. Wasser also said Spears has been motivated in recent months by her children and re-establishing her career.
It is good for a family because it is said that healthy parents raise emotionally healthy babies and a mothers influence towards the same is great. No body can deny it.
About 20 to 25 percent of women suffers with depression in their life time against 7 to 12 percent of men. In addition to environmental stressors and psychosocial factors ,women are also inflluenced by biological factors to get depressed. That is why women are much prone to getting depressed than men.
Psycologists say if there is no intimate relationship with the husband the problem will be still worse and will be so severe in case of divorce. Doctors say that the depression is not a weakness of a person, it is the result of a combination of genetic, biochemical, environmental and psychological factors.
The important thing we should know that depression is not a weakness. Depression is not a character flaw or the wages of sin or due to lack of will power. It is a problem related to a chemical imbalance in the brain that makes it hard for the cells to communicate with one another. It is a medical problem and should be treated as such.
The delay in consulting the physician and not taking appropriate early action actually complicates the problem which otherwise easily solved. Depression can be treated and cured. Millions of people are being treated for depression while they live busy and productive lives. Science has made great strides and sophisticated medications are easing the symptoms of depression and other mental illness.
Depression cannot be detected in lab like diabetes. It is identified by symptoms. People who are not able to get rid out of the blue mood even after two weeks, having other symptoms of depression, should consult physician immediately. They should not think that it will plummet as the time pass by. If we happen to see the persons having this problem, we should help them to have consultation with physician by convincing them without affecting their dignity. Mind it, depression is not a person's weakness.
