Heather Locklear is seeking treatment for psychological issues at an Arizona facility, People magazine reports.
“Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment,” the actress’ rep told the magazine. “This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released.”
Since Locklear’s divorce from rocker Richie Sambora in February 2006, the 46-year-old actress has had a series of rough patches.
She began taking medication after she filed for divorce, and was distraught when her former friend Denise Richards began dating Sambora in the summer of 2006.
Earlier this year, a man who identified himself as Locklear’s doctor called 911 when he thought the actress was suicidal.
After filming the Lifetime movie Flirting with 40 in the spring, Locklear decided to head to an in-patient treatment center. “She wanted to feel better and get to the bottom of what was troubling her,” a source told People. “She’s had a rough year.”
Locklear and Sambora, 48, have a daughter, Ava, 10.
Meanwhile Jack Wagner, 48, who has been dating Locklear since April 2007, told the magazine: “Anyone who has the courage to seek help in order to live a healthy life gets my support 110 percent.”
