Catherine Zeta-Jones Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder (VIDEO)

Catherine Zeta-Jones is trending on news that she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The 41-year-old actress, best known for her roles in

Chicago

and

Ocean’s Twelve

, has checked into an undisclosed facility for treatment.

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is characterized by swings between depressive episodes and euphoria and is often triggered by prolonged stress. Zeta-Jones’ husband, Michael Douglas, has been receiving treatment for stage-four throat cancer, though he announced in January that he is now cancer-free.

Bipolar disorder can be treated with medication and therapy, and Zeta-Jones plans to continue in her two films scheduled for release in 2012.
