Heather Locklear checks into medical facility

New York (ANI): Actress Heather Locklear has checked into an Arizona medical facility for psychological treatment, her spokeswoman said. Representative for Locklear, best known for her roles in the hit US television soap opera 'Melrose Place' and sitcom 'Spin City,' has revealed that the 46-year-old actress is being treated for anxiety and depression at an Arizona facility.

"She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment," the New York Daily News quoted Locklear's rep, as saying. "This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released," she added. In March, a man claiming to be Locklear's doctor called 911 and asked for assistance.

"I have a patient and I have a feeling she's suicidal. I would want someone to go [check on her]," he said. At that time, Locklear's publicist downplayed the incident, adding that the actress was 'fine' and 'never requested medical assistance.'

Hi Heather, I hope you get whatever help you need. Just get plenty of rest,exercise, nutrition besides any medication. I find when I'm missing one of those components of life, I get severely negative & depressed. Heather, I remember us as kids when our folks(your father was a Dean & my mother, a teacher) ran into each other in Virginia City, Nev. I wish we could have been friends. I was so shy back then and I think you were too. We lived in the same hometown of T.O.,CA. Maybe its time to get away from the limelight for awhile and focus on something else. Take Care & good luck with your treatments here.

Some of you negative people need to remember that actors are human beings first. I wish her all the best also. I watch "Angels Fall" over and over because I like the story. Life happens. JC

Old age is the hardest part for these stars to cope with. None appear to do it gracefully

Just another Hollywood story: Find starlet, use her up, spit her out. Move on to next one.
