Walters told the other co-hosts of The View, that she had spoken to Lufti over the weekend. Lutfi confirmed that Spears, 26, was being seen by a psychiatrist for "mental issues which are treatable."
Spears appears to be suffering from insomnia and mood swings, but her mother’s support has been very helpful.
When the other co-hosts of The View questioned Walters about the reliability of what Lutfi was saying, she replied, "She has been to a psychiatrist. She, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment. I don’t know if anybody is telling the truth or not telling the truth. He has been with her constantly. He seems to be enormously supportive."
According to one of the hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, extreme fatigue is at the root of most of the singer’s recent problems.
