Barbara Walters says she has been contacted by Britney Spears's manager and "very good friend" Sam Lutfi, who says the pop singer has seen a psychiatrist. Lutfi told her the 26-year-old Spears "is suffering from what he describes as mental issues which are treatable," Walters said yesterday on ABC's "The View." "He said that she has been to a psychiatrist and that she, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment," said Walters, a cohost on the ABC daytime talk show. "She has been having mood swings. She's been having trouble sleeping and also she is in touch with her mother - 'cause we had heard she wasn't - and her mother has been very supportive of whatever it is that Britney is going to do." Walters said. Spears has spiraled downward since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline in November 2006. Her bizarre public antics include shaving her head bald, attacking a car with an umbrella, and bringing along a paparazzo pal on trips to a Los Angeles courthouse in her custody case with Federline. The singer was taken to a Los Angeles hospital by paramedics this month after police were called to her home because of a dispute involving her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. She has lost custody and visitation rights with the boys. (AP)
