Catherine Zeta-Jones Back In Treatment For Bipolar Disorder

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has returned to hospital to seek treatment for bipolar disorder.

In April 2011, the Side Effects actress spent five days in a clinic after getting help for the condition, with a representative for Catherine stating the star is now expected to complete a 30-day programme to battle the disorder.

Her spokesperson told TMZ: "Catherine has proactively checked into a health care facility.

"Previously Catherine has said that she is committed to periodic care in order to manage her health in an optimum manner."

A source close to the 43-year-old added to People magazine that her decision to enter the facility "has always been part of the plan".

They added: "There was no big problem. This was just a good time to do it. She is in between projects."

Zeta-Jones - who is married to legendary actor Michael Douglas - previously addressed her condition, stating: "I never wanted this to come out publicly.

"It came out and so I dealt with it in the best way I could, and that was just saying, 'Look, hey, I'm bipolar'."
