Britney Spears, known for her infectious pop hits, has recently taken the internet by storm with a dance video that has sparked concern among her close circle and mental health professionals. In the video, Spears can be seen confidently dancing around a vivid pink pole in a revealing leopard bikini, set to the provocative Nine Inch Nails track "Closer."
Dr. Gilda Carle, a prominent psychologist, commented on Spears' behavior, stating, "She needs proper guidance," emphasizing that if Spears has stopped taking her prescribed medications, it might clarify her actions. Notably, Dr. Carle hasn't treated Spears personally.
Britney's relationship with her online persona has often been a topic of conversation, especially after her 2007 diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Earlier this summer, in response to murmurs about her well-being, Spears posted a video where she donned a fluffy wrap and assured fans, "I'm very much here and alive." Nonetheless, questions surrounding her mental health persisted, especially since her conservatorship, which had been in place for 13 years, was dissolved in November 2021.
Sources claim that the 41-year-old singer's increased caffeine intake has been affecting her health, suggesting that she remains awake for extended periods, which might be impacting her mental stability. Dr. Carle added perspective by stating, "While gaining freedom from her conservatorship might have felt like a victory, adjusting to life without its structure can be challenging."
Spears' personal life has been under the media lens too. As per The National ENQUIRER, Britney's children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, relocated to Hawaii with their father Kevin Federline and stepmother Victoria Prince, reportedly distancing themselves from Spears. A close source revealed, "Jayden and Sean's bond with their mother appears to be strained currently."
Dr. Carle theorizes that Britney's bold online presence might be her way of seeking attention and reconnecting with her fanbase. However, she adds, "There are certainly more nuanced ways to engage with her audience."
