How Show Business Instigates Mental Illness of Celebrities

It's not all that unusual for notable people in show business to be admitted to psychiatric wards. It's been a long-standing situation for many going back decades--despite it seemingly increasing lately. The increase seems to give my theory a boost that the paparazzi are driving (literally and figuratively) the most-viewed celebrities slowly insane. When Britney Spears was interviewed by NBC's Matt Lauer a couple of years ago in one of her rare one-on-one interviews--those previously-withheld tears she displayed during the interview were a true cry for the paparazzi to...ok, I'll say it, leave her alone...yesterday. Paparazzi are starting to make being a celebrity an impossibility that will only make living in Hollywood less attractive to ensuing generations. It's also creating a whole new mental illness in newer-generation celebrities who just can't handle having no privacy whatsoever on a day-by-day (and even hour-by-hour) basis.
Call that mental illness an amalgam of differing conditions. The heart of it, though, is likely plain old depression--and the realization of "how did I get myself into this trap that I can't escape from?"

Well, during a slightly less invasive time in Hollywood--a lot of celebrities just had mental issues as a part of their natural chemistry or from incidents in their personal past. Here's a short list I've carefully selected of notables from all eras that should give a better insight into what other celebrities (both long gone and still alive) have gone through and whether being in psychiatric treatment truly helped them...
