Is Britney Spears Suffering From Post-Partum Psychosis? What Happened To Jayden James?
Part of the on-going drama in the Britney Spears “custody dispute” hospital drama, is why did the LAPD feel it necessary to transport Britney’s youngest son, 1-year old Jayden James to the hospital as well?
As news filters out about what happened last night during the 3-hour stand-off, we have discovered Britney locked herself away from her court appointed monitor with son Jayden James. No one really knows what went on while Jayden was being held hostage by his mother, but police have stated Britney appeared to be “under the influence” of a substance.
It seems police must have been taking every precaution to make sure Jayden had NOT been hurt while alone and unsupervised with his mother and it’s quite likely he was checked out to make sure Britney didn’t make him ingest anything toxic or illicit.
This is a scary prospect. While I highly doubt Britney would hurt her own children knowingly, in an altered state, and with serious chemical imbalances at work, even the most loving parent can do unspeakable things.
My new theory on all of this mess involving Britney and her trainwreck life in 2007 is Britney is suffering from some sort of post-partum induced psychosis. I do believe whole-heartedly Britney has a serious disposition for mental illness as some underlying condition, but having had two children within 1 year must have done a number on her body and psyche. Britney really seemed to unravel after the birth of Jayden back in September of 2006, within days of her first son Sean Preston celebrating his first birthday. This would mean Britney was pregnant within three months of having Sean and experts in the field agree having children so close together can be exceptionally damaging to your body. It take at LEAST a year for a woman’s body to replenish the nutrients and vitamins necessary to support having another baby. Even more important, it can take even longer for hormone levels to return normal.
It’s quite easy to see how someone with as fragile a mental state as Britney’s, coupled with hormone imbalances and a chaotic and entitled lifestyle could go off the deep end. I blame K-Fed for knocking her up so soon after she gave birth to their first son. Not only is it disgusting for him to even have pressured her into having sex without taking proper precautions to prevent pregnancy, but it’s extremely selfish. Kevin must be really enjoying himself as his ex-meal ticket disintegrates before his eyes. How much you want to bet the wheels are turning in his head and he knows he is now set for life.
Poor JJ and SPF. These children need a mommy and daddy who will love them and provide them stability. I just don’t see it happening with these two nitwits.

I don’t think K-Fed is the bad guy here regarding JJ. It takes two to tango. If you haven’t noticed, he happens to be the only person that seems to give a crap about those kids….. Yes, he was a sleaze-ball while married to her, but he seems to have turned around. I am happy those kids have one caring adult in their lives.

I beg to differ, it (as they say) takes two to tango, and you can’t necessarily blame ONLY K-Fed for NitWit becoming pregnant so soon after the birth of SPF. They BOTH should have been a little more responsible, but…um, yeah.
What if Britney *WANTED* to get pregnant again quickly to have two kids in succession? I work with a girl who came back from her first maternity leave already pregnant with a second! Her reasoning was that since her body was already out of shape from the first, she wanted to go ahead and have a second, since she only wanted two kids anyway, and afterwards she could “get her body back.” (an actual quote)
We women do crazy things for crazy reasons, and sometimes pregnant and post-pregnancy women do even crazier things for crazier reasons.

Whatever her (the girl you refer to) reasons, it is incredible selfish and irresponsible to become pregnant so soon. My aunt did the same thing and her son was born with severe disabilities. It doesn’t always happen, but it sure makes the odds greater.
Really selfish on both parties. Ugh.

I also want to add that I do agree with you. Post-partum depression, if left untreated can escalate with each successive child (according to the docs who testified at Andrea Yates’ trial). So what started out as ppd could have escalated into Post-partum psychosis. Which, if reports are true, could have also been aggravated by drinking, drugs and stress. Never a good combination.
Hopefully she will be evaluated and will get the medical and psychological help she so obviously needs. BUT, as has been known to happen, you can’t force someone to take their psych meds, and sometimes people who are suffering will stop taking their meds because they “feel better.” Then the downward spiral begins.
I just hope that if it’s determined she needs medication, she is responsible enough to take it.

What?? I was wrong - you are a twat. How do you know he ‘pressurised her into sex without protection’. Maybe she told him was on the pill? And no method of contraception is 100% effective.
The only way you could back up these wild claims is if you had actually been there on the night JJ was concieved and witnessed him doing this? You obviously weren’t - because if you were you would probably have filmed it on your camera phone and flogged it to the papers. Numpty.

I agree..
There are pictures of K-Fed there, and he is gloating. He is thrilled to see Britney disintegrate before his eyes. He was always bitterly jealous of her. He even tried to rap on New Year’s Eve (he hasn’t improved). Maybe he thinks if he kills her, then her talent will magically be transferred to him.

He is not gloating. I’ve seen the footage of him trying to protect his kids from the paps by driving like a maniac behind the car containing them to stop the paps getting photos of his children.
He has never breathed a word against her. He’s not sold his story to a paper. He was probably the best thing that ever happened to Britney. She’s really unravelled since she lost him, it’s so sad.

He sure looked like he was gloating to me. Kaplan sure was, until the drug tests came back negative and he cancelled his press conference. HA. Maybe it doesn’t make you look that great to drive the mother of your children to clinical insanity. So duck and hide, instead.

K-Fed is a really piece of work. I whole-heartedly believe she has mental issues. Like it or not this mess started when she married him! (Don’t forget he had someone else pageant at the time). After their 1st child he was got with strippers while she was home taking care of their child. He pushed her to the edge a just waited for her to fall so he could collect his paycheck! I not saying she has no blame in this however he knows what buttons to push and he does have culpabilities in this mess.
Shame on K-Fed, Brittany is their mother like it or not!

Sally,
Calling me a twat is like the pot calling the kettle back.
So, pot meet twat.

All I can say is this: WOW..Hollywood is actually being defaced for the drugged glam-whores that it actually is. This is not important people. I randomy found this site, and I just couldn’t believe what I read—how people ignore their own lives, their emptiness - for a cheap entertainment bit.
And please, everytime you say Titney is talented, God kills a kitten. For fucks sake, people are dying in this world, and all you can think about is some redneck trollop and her addictions.

[...] like Glosslip, wonder if her actions might have something to do with post partum psychosis. It’s definitely not [...]

I agree with you here, ever since the beginning of this whole thing with her I’ve thought it was PPD. As a mom of 3 very close in age children and also a woman who suffered with PPD I’ve felt sorry for Britney. She’s very young, in the spotlight, and has 2 babies very close in age, there’s TONS of pressure on her. I just hope she can get the help she needs in enough time, before she hurts herself or someone else.

Well put!!!

i’ve thought this whole time that she has ppd. she has shown every single sign of it in her behavior. she is also acting like a woman under alot of distress. i’m not saying kfed is all to blame but you have to wonder where that distress came from. i feel sorry for the kids and i feel sorry for her. i’m not a fan of hers really but it’s terrible to watch this whole thing unfold.

You really should take a look at the new Brit stories we’ve done. You might be surprised.
