'Mental issues'

Sole custody of Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, who is one, was awarded to Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline after the incident, while she also denied visitation rights to the children.
Earlier this week, US talk show host Barbara Walters claimed that Spears has been receiving treatment for "mental issues".
She said Spears' manager Sam Lufti had told her the singer was suffering from psychiatric problems that are "treatable".
"She has been having mood swings. She's been having trouble sleeping," Walters said on her show The View.
