Delta Burke Checks Into Psych Ward
"Designing Women" star Delta Burke checked herself into a psychiatric hospital last week for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and "hoarding." The star said her meds hadn't been working, and that hoarding (unable to throw ANYTHING away) was ruining her life.
The actress acknowledged being on antidepressants, because she suffers from "severe depression" and "generalized anxiety" brought about by an obsessive-compulsive disorder that has devastated her life.
"Have you seen those shows where they don't find the body for days and they go in to clean up and there are stacks of newspapers up to the ceiling? That's hoarding. And I hate it," she added.
Burke did not say how long she would remain hospitalized.
