Mental Health Professionals Say Charlie Sheen Needs Help

by Alex A. Kecskes

Actor Charlie Sheen continues his rants and seems to be in denial about what some call his descending mental state. Some mental health care professionals have termed his current state as bi-polar and worry that a soon-to-come "downer" will be harmful to the talented actor.

Sheen, on the other hand, insists that rather than being bi-polar, he's actually "bi-winning." While many mental health professionals express concern over his well-being, skeptics insist it's all an act to draw fans to his freewheeling lifestyle.

Psychiatrists who have observed Sheen's manic ramblings warn that when addicts are high on drugs, or simply reacting to biochemical changes in their brain, they will refuse treatment. They see themselves as above it all and will insist they know how to best deal with their condition (if they even admit they have a condition).

The loss of his job loss and the court ordered removal of his 2-year-old twins, Max and Bob are bracing reminders that Sheen may not be winning all of his battles. And that it might be time to come down and deal with reality.

Mental health professionals say Sheen's bizarre behavior in media interviews and online follows a standard self-destructive pattern. It began with his admitted drug abuse, violence, and troubling behavior on the set of this TV show. One can only hope that the actor comes to his senses and seeks professional help before tragedy strikes.
