“Britney has lost the opportunity to make decisions for herself,” says Dr. Stacy Kaiser, an L.A.-based psychotherapist. “The law is in charge of her. It’s very rare.”
Committed under California’s “5150 Hold” – in which Spears was deemed a danger to herself and/or others – she is not permitted to leave Cedars-Sinai “under any circumstances” for at least 72 hours.
“She will be isolated, and all her behavior will be monitored,” says Kaiser. “They’ll make sure she doesn’t have any drugs on her. They will closely watch everything she puts in her mouth. If they’re giving her medication, they will make sure she takes it.” It is unlikely she is being restrained, “but if she is being difficult and argumentative, they could sedate her and strap her down,” says Kaiser, noting that the 5150 is so extreme because it strips a patient of nearly all autonomy.
So Britney is isolated, receiving psychological evaluations and is in unfamiliar surroundings. I think being forced to stay out of the media for even a short period of time might do her some good. I have to admit I am feeling a little sorry for her, at least she’s getting some help even if it wasn’t her choice.

update:Since being released from the Cedars-Sinai psych ward this morning, Britney Spears has been on the go. Spears was seen leaving her gated Beverly Hills home in her white Mercedes, as soon as she saw the paps she made a quick U-turn and went back into the gated community. Pagesix reports that Britney was on route to pal Sam Lufti's house, but Sam has been trying to track her down all day. Apparently Britney ditched the hospital and her family to meet up with her married boy-toy photog Adnan Ghalib. Where will she go next?? Stay tuned...
