Dr. Phil: Spears needs psychological help

The singer was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after police were called to her home due to a dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Television's "Dr. Phil" McGraw said Britney Spears was released from a hospital Saturday but still needs psychological help, the syndicated programs Entertainment Tonight and The Insider reported in a press release. The troubled pop star was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by paramedics Thursday night after police were called to her home because of a dispute involving the two sons she had with ex-husband Kevin Federline. "My meeting with Britney and some family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention," McGraw told the programs."She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her," he said. Medical center officials have had no comment on Spears, and authorities have given no full explanation of why she was hospitalized.
