Well this has come out of the blue… Just when you thought the Zeta-Jones-Douglas clan were piecing things back together following Michael's throat cancer diagnosis last year, the actress has revealed that she's suffering from mental health issues.

Yesterday her publicist, Cece Yorke, confirmed that she recently underwent inpatient treatment for bipolar II disorder - a form of manic depression - at a US mental health facility, but added that she is now "feeling great" and planning to start work on two films this week.

In the statement, he also explained:

"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check into a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her bipolar II disorder."

Meanwhile, oracle of truth the National Enquirer reports some more details, claiming the 41 year old admitted herself into the Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut just over a week ago and underwent a five-day treatment plan before leaving the centre on Monday.

Hope you're feeling better, Catherine! Don't work too hard.
