Catherine Zeta-Jones has completed treatment for bipolar II disorder and Michael Douglas is ready to be home with his wife.
“She comes home tomorrow,” the actor told People. “She’s doing a really good job of getting balanced. I’m proud of her.” The “Behind the Candelabra” star is currently in Cannes working to promote his new film.
Page Six reported last month that the 43-year-old actress checked into a clinic for the second time for treatment of bipolar II disorder. Her spokeswoman said, “Catherine has pro-actively checked into a health-care facility,” adding, “Previously, Catherine has said that she is committed to periodic care in order to manage her health in an optimum manner.”
Zeta-Jones previously sought help in 2011, when she reportedly went to a detox center at a hospital in New Canaan, Conn. At the time, her publicist said Zeta-Jones had received mental-health treatment to help her cope with personal trauma, which included Douglas’ battle with cancer: “After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check into a mental-health facility for a brief stay to treat her bipolar II disorder.”
