Catherine has revealed that she checked into the Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut last week where she was being treated for Bipolar II disorder. She was there for five days, and was said to be suffering from a huge amount of stress related to caring for husband Michael Douglas, who lost 32 pounds in the last year while fending off throat cancer.
Catherine's representative said: "After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay."
For her part, Demi recently thanked her fans for helping her get through the "darkest" time in her life. On Thursday she emphasized that it was important for people to be in touch with their emotions.
"Never be ashamed of what you feel," she wrote. "You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That's my life motto."
aused her to enter rehab: "I basically had a nervous breakdown. I was really bad off. My parents and manager pulled me aside and said, 'You need to get some help.' It was an intervention. I wanted freedom from the inner demons. I wanted to start my life over."
Now the Sonny With A Chance star is looking forward to returning to work and says she has made vast changes to how she lives her life.
She explained in an interview with Seventeen magazine: "I allow myself a lot of freedom and I'm very peaceful now. I have come to realize that just making yourself happy is most important. Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That's my life motto."

Demi Lovato Has Revealed She Was in Rehab for an Eating Disorder

“I wish I could tell every young girl with an eating disorder, or who has harmed herself in any way, that she’s worthy of life and that her life has meaning. You can overcome and get through anything," she said.
The newly healed actress feels stronger after leaving the center in January, but knows she will battle the disease for a lifetime and is ready to face the challenge.
“Yes, there have been times when I definitely have been tempted to get rid of my dinner. But I will deal with it for the rest of my life because it’s a life-long disease. I don’t think there’s going to be a day when I don’t think about food or my body, but I’m living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it," she said.
Kudos to the star for publicly dealing with -- and helping provide valuable insight about -- such a private, isolated disorder that is often harbored inside. Demi encouraged any young people dealing with similar issues to avoid inflicting "harm on your own body because your body is so sacred" by seeking solace from family and friends rather than keeping it within.
Demi herself is working on her own happiness, which she is pursuing by dismissing others' insecurities, emotions or opinions. That's one hell of a pursuit of happiness if we've ever heard of one.
