Charlie Sheen Being Labelled As Mentally Ill

Dr. Drew Pinsky was just on CNN's Piers Morgan show and he has stated that Charlie Sheen is mentally ill. Pinsky has suggested that the psychiatric community may step in and hold Sheen against his will on a 5150 - Involuntary Psychiatric Hold, the same as was used to hold Brittney Spears. Pinsky stated that individuals in such a "manic" state as Sheen are dangers to themselves and others.

There is a video of similar statements by Pinsky at the link for the following story.

Charlie Sheen is in danger, Dr. Drew says, after actor's manic rant
Posted 02/25/2011 3:04 PM by Corinne Heller
Charlie Sheen is in danger and should be placed in a hospital, Dr. Drew Pinsky of the reality show "Celebrity Rehab" told OnTheRedCarpet.com, following the actor's recent manic ramblings that helped spur the shutdown of his comedy series "Two and a Half Men."

The show sees the 45-year-old actor playing a womanizing jingle writer and which is one of the highest-rated programs in the United States. Production on "Two and a Half Men" was suspended in January after Sheen began treatment for drug and alcohol addiction amid reports of wild partying with adult film stars.

On Thursday, Sheen slammed the show's co-creator, Chuck Lorre, during an obscene rant on the syndicated radio program "The Alex Jones Show."

"That's acute mania," Pinsky told OnTheRedCarpet.com about Sheen later that night, at a party honoring the Top 24 finalists of the FOX series "American Idol." "That's an acute psychiatric problem. Maybe drug-induced, we don't know, but he's in danger. He's heading either for a really serious collapse or a 72-hour hold. I would put him in a hospital right away, right now, and I don't think he'd cooperate with that."

Sheen has not responded to Pinsky's remarks. After the actor made his comments on the radio, CBS confirmed production of "Two and a Half Men" had been halted for the remainder of the current eighth season. In 2010, Sheen signed up for two more seasons and got a pay raise that brought his salary to a reported $27.5 million a year, Reuters reported.

Sheen sent a text message to "Good Morning America" and other news outlets on Friday, claiming that he is 100 percent sober and plans to show up for work next week anyway.

    aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaaa!!!

    Indeed California the land of fruit and nuts...only some of them have lots of money and fame...it talks alright.
  • Thank you for sharing this with us.

    I appreciate your feelings about Charlie as he hasn't acted in the best judgment or prudence. I, personally, am very concerned for him. Let's not forget that he is not only a celebrity but he is also somebody's son, brother, uncle, and father. He is a human being and we don't know all of the facts.

    Our perceptions are based on what we see much like the perceptions people have about Michael. Let's learn from Michael and show a little L.O.V.E. and compassion.

    I hope and pray that everything works out positive for Charlie. Blessings <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

    I honestly think that the "industry" (or certain people in the industry) are out to get Charlie and he's not going down without a fight.

    I think TMZ is one Charlie's side no matter what they've written about him - why else would Charlie be talking to them? He doesn't have to say anything at all.

    And I honestly think Charlie has something up his sleeve...
  • Its about time someone diagnosed Charlie as being mentally ill.
    What took them so long??? <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    I do wish him well though...

    I really like Charlie Sheen, and "Two And a Half Men" and "Reba" were my most favorite shows ever. I worry about him too, and hope he can get passed this for his childrens sake. In my personal opinion, I dont think he is mentally ill, I think he is has deep issues and he's fed up with the shit the media portrays. Im not saying he doesnt need help, but to call him mentally ill ? That would piss me off too. Can you imagine people on the news discussing your personal issues on national news stations ? God, Poor Michael for what they put him through. I just hate to see them keep doing it to other people. I think their words hurt worse than anything Charlie could ever do (But yet they call THEMSELVES professionals). <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->

    Good point.
    It reminds me of watching Dr. Phil verbally beat the shit out of that homeless guy they call "the voice" on his show.
    Stuff like that makes you want to shoot your own TV.

    If a person dares to be outside the 'normal' masses and thinks for himself and voices their opinion, it scares mainstream to death. They must destroy it...I noticed Alex Jones didn't come to his defence much either...

    Umm is this the same doctor that does Celebrity Rehab show? I'm getting tired of seeing him on tv trying to diagnose everybody. How he gonna be a sex doctor, drug rehab doctor, now he a psychiatrist. He starting to get on my nerves. Yeah Charlie Sheen has issues obviously but I doubt if this celebrity doctor is the best one to diagnose him.

    We have seen too many celebs having been pictured as "sick", "egocentric", "bizarre", "drug addicts" and close to being a danger to "regular" society. They have been exhibited as a humanoid zoo animal, in a golden cage, for all to see and for all to spit on. In the meantime they were milked financially and kept on top to deliver even more money to their handlers.
    An ongoing crime with nowhere to escape to. When dispensable, they died of "heart attack", "drug overdose" or a mysterious "shooting", sometimes declared a "suicide". If they didn't die, they were declared "minor", needing a guardian, made a patient in one of the clinics the intelligence is walking in and out or their children were harassed. Re-read the stories again.
    It all sums up to the same pattern.

    I am really concerned.
    This is a gateway to involuntary commitment.

    I watched the video it as very worrying if it is true Charlie is in great danger because he spoke out and they will bring him down. Charlies eyes are the eyes if an unwell person I have to say I have always liked Charlie an I think he was brave to stand up and say that about 911 I always thought it was rubbish but over the past year and months I have realised nothing is not possible

  • Check this out.

    Charlie sheen had a drugs test... blood and urine... and he PASSED. He is DRUG FREE!!

    I cant help but think of how they labelled MJ as a drug addict.

    i know Charlie has admitted to taking drugs and alcohol in the past. But i cant help finding his anger and his willing to disprove what people are labelling him as interesting....

  • If Charlie sheen is not on drugs, then I am sorry, he is suffering from mania. I am a clinical social worker- meaning a therapist, and work in a mental health clinic. I see that look only too often and I know the tone of voice, the rapid, pressured speech, the affect..everything.
    The fact that he made like 4 morning shows in one day also screams mania. When I saw him on Today show, my first instince in the first ten minutes was Bipolar Disorder. If you diagnose people daily, and treat 8-9 clients a day, you develop an eye for the symptoms.

    Why would it be so weird or horrible if he was suffering from Bipolar Disorder (I mean of course, beside the fact that he has to deal with the symptoms) ? Many creative, famous people do- what's the big deal? Why is it so taboo to say, this person might be suffering from Bipolar Disorder? To do so, further perpetuates the stigma connected to mental health issues.

    Ok, sorry...getting off my soap box now. And getting back to the hoax. Much love!

    Yeah I agree...sumthin's up awright.

    I dunno if it is bi polar ...the definition pretty much fits...some manic action is definitely going on there.

    I was wondering if perhaps since he has a history of repeated heavy drug use...considering the KIND and amount he has admitted to as well as the drinking.
    Just Perhaps
    he is having a mental meltdown.
    From all that he says it is bound to have fried some neuron's, neuro tansmitter's and other things in his brain.
    Maybe something set it off.
  • Charlie sheen had a drugs test... blood and urine... and he PASSED. He is DRUG FREE!!

    Yeah...but the thing about that is ...he can be drug free for a few days and some of the drugs will go out of his system...
    not to mention they make "kits" to cleanse your system of drugs.
    People use them when they are afraid they are going to be random drug tested or
    are going to be tested.

    i actually believe Charlie when he says he is off the drugs. He took this test to prove to everyone.
    Im not sure why he should have to prove that anyway. its his life and his body. Why should we care anyway? Whatever makes him happy.

    But he has proven he is clean....

    dont know what more he has to do...

    and as for diagnosing him with a mental disorder, just from watching a few videos... MAN... that is so wrong on so many levels. <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->

    Maybe he looks "manic" because he is majorly piddled off... and stressed... who the heck knows.

    It may be his life and his body...but at the time...he was trying to prove he is straight...because he is going up against the big wigs at CBS that canceled his show.
    Because of his "alleged" drug use.
    He is trying to build a defense case.
  • Well why didn't the public and the media CARE enough to give MJ one of those 5150's to evaluate his psyche a long time ago? No. All they wanted to be was make fun of sweet Michael. If the world had shown him an ounce of concern like they are doing with Charlie, Michael might be alive and WELL! I know Charlie Sheen is not happy with his life and neither is Christina Aguilara or any of these other pitiful, pathetic celebs who have everything .... and nothing. This excludes MJ, of course, becuz the poor man was just trying to get a good night's sleep.....but the rest of them are just out partying their lives away with all the money they make while us working stiffs carry the load.

    You are right but, He is an actor <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

    There are some movies out there where the actors seem to be really in drugs or having a real mental disease or break down. Good actors. Besides, some people can fake mental disorder symptoms very good as well and know the disorder to extreme detail which in itself, it´s a mental disorder as well..

    This man is the best paid series actor right now.

    Not on national TV he doesnt!!

    Since when was that a pre-requisite????

    I find it appalling that he has felt the need to do that!! To recieve a drug test on national TV, and have the results read out live. How is that entertainment? This is someones life... someones medical records. Charlie should NEVER have felt the need to do that and the TV bosses should be ashamed of themselves that they allowed that to be filmed and aired.
