okay you guys are freaking idiots!!
you dont have to be a drug addict or addicted to alcohol to go to rehab!
so shut the heckk up and leave her alone; i'm going to laugh when all of you get so depressed you have to go to rehab!!
:)

Don't some of you have anything better to do than sit and rag on others? Kirsten has probably accomplished more in her life than most of us. I agree with the person who commented that a rehab center would probably take anyone who had the money and had issues they want to address and deal with. I also agree with the comment that people who are depressed might start partying or trying to do things they think might make them feel better. Those of us who are addicts know that most addicts want that quick fix so we won't have to feel our feelings that make us uncomfortable, such as sadness. (I am NOT saying that Kirsten is an addict) but kudos to her for getting help with anything that she felt was beginning to control her life. By tackling the issue when she did, maybe she avoided years of trouble with an addiction to substances that may have occurred if she didn't deal with her depression. Good for you Kirsten...best of luck!

APPLICATION TO BEFRIEND KRISTEN....
May i be your friend Kristen, so you can take me along for your next session. I am depressed, pls help.

LIAR LIAR LIAR...... CAN'T ADMIT SHE IS A ALCOHOLIC!

6:21 is right. A rehab will not admit you unless you are addicted to a substance. That's just a fact.

Just wanted to say that I went to a rehab place for depression there were also people with drugs and alcohol and all sorts of issues. Some places just don't advertise it to the public.

I would like to say that it is very nice to see someone come out about depression. It is one of the hardest things to go through, and I applaud anyone that can overcome the battle with depression. Depression is one of those things that just doesnt go away. I went through a depression stage at 14 and now years later, I am still going through relapses and I wish I was a celebrity, so that I could just go into rehab and fix all my problems. But it really isnt that easy. And i certainly dont think it will be easy for Kirsten. Depression will be there for the rest of everyone's life that is so unfortunate to go through it, but with love and support it is certainly easier to overcome. I give Kirsten a bunch of props for coming out about her depression, and it makes me feel a lot better knowing that someone else is going through the same hardships as "normal" people.

If You People HAve Nothing Good To Say..Keep it to Yourselves!!

I do believe Kirsten, you go girl for sticking up for yourself, and I'm sorry to hear that there have been hurtful rumors that offend you're family & friends, etc.

No, I don't believe her. You don't go to the Cirque Lodge for depression. It is for alcohol and substance abuse. If she were suffering for depression and needed inpatient help, she wouldn't go there. I do think it is possible she has depression, but it isn't far fetched to believe that she has a substance abuse problem along with it. She was heavy on the club scene and drugs are passed around like candy, not to mention all the drinking that goes on. So it is very possible. Perhaps it is just easier to put depression out in public, since substance abuse tends to be looked at in a worse way. I don't think that necessarily means she's in denial, but wants to take care of it privately. Anyone who knows a person who has struggled with substance abuse or has been through it themselves knows of the difficulties--going through that in public with paparazzi following your every move, analyzing whether you have alchohol in that glass, and whatnot would make it much harder.

depression and substance abuse can be comorbid..she prob had bith and is just admitting to one

Does it matter what she went there for? People should be happy for her recover (whatever it was). It's none of our business.

6:21 is right. A rehab will not admit you unless you are addicted to a substance. That's just a fact.

Too bad she's not with Ryan Gosling....he is a HOTTIE!!!!!!!!!

6:21- She went there for therapy bottomline!
You can't possibly be that ignorant, can you?

You don't go to rehab for depression, you go to a mental health facility (think insane asylum). Rehab is for drug or alcohol dependency and/or physical rehabilitation after one suffers a stroke or other debilitating injury where their motor skills have been compromised. If Kirsten suffers from depression and is seeking treatment good for her. The only reason anyone knows that she went anywhere is because the media can't leave these people alone for five minutes. That's what drives them crazy or to drugs and alcohol in the first place. On any given day at least one celebrity goes public with some type of mental health issue, addiction, story of abuse, etc. If you look at the percentage of actors, musicians, comedians, news people, etc that have some kind of sob story it's ridiculous. Look at the law of averages, if those afflications were in the general population at the rate that celebrities are affected everyone would be in the corner sucking their thumb by now. Celebrities need an excuse for their bad behavior so they claim to have the ailment du jour, most of which are made up by doctors and pharmaceutical companies so they can make more money. Sad, but true.
