Britney Spears May Be Suffering From Post-Partum Depression

Sources tell TMZ that Britney Spears isn't in rehab for substance abuse, but she's apparently suffering from post-partum depression.

TMZ says

Britney's doctors have two operating theories -- either that she suffers from post-partum depression or bipolar disorder. The doctors strongly believe post-partum is the problem.

TMZ is also claiming that we all know Britney likes to drink, but they believe her boozing is her way of dealing with her depression.

She's also reportedly reading Brooke Shields' post-partum depression book, "Down Came The Rain," where she talks about her post-partum depression battle that later spawned her "you should take vitamins" feud with Tom Cruise.

Britney is enrolled in a 30-day program at Malibu's Promises rehab facility.

I can only imagine how rough post-partum must be. You're supposed to be all happy when you make babies. I want her to get well, spill the beans on the crazy and stay outta Hollywood so she can live happily with her country folk.
