Britney Spears' 72-hour hold at Stewart & Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital has been extended to 14 days at the request of her psychiatrist, sources have confirmed. People reports:
The Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital is known as one of the top facilities of its kind; still, "It is a terrible situation," says a source close to the Spears family. "Britney is in a padded room. Her family is so worried about her." Terry K. Wasserman, a veteran L.A. attorney specializing in mental health cases, explains that if a patient becomes combative, he or she "could be placed in a 'quiet room,' some of which are padded." Wasserman adds: "Another possibility is being confined to a bed by leather restraints. In extreme, life-threatening situations - when the patient is a threat to oneself or medical staff - a psychiatrist can inject a person with psychotropic medication."
