Dr. Drew to Miley Cyrus: Seek Help!
You won't believe this, but Dr. Drew Pinsky has an opinion on the Miley Cyrus salvia controversy.
Asked by Access Hollywood about the video of that singer smoking a hallucinogenic herb at her 18th birthday party, Dr. Drew cited the divorce of Miley's parents.
“Her family’s in trouble, so it’s not unusual to see depression manifesting as various kinds of acting out behaviors. Adolescents don’t get depressed the way adults do. They don’t get sad and cry and withdraw. They often act out and become irritable... she seems to be suffering.”
Dr. Drew thinks Miley Cyrus should seek help. Preferably on VH1, we'd imagine, in front of a camera and a certain exploitive therapist.
What advice does the Celebrity Rehab host have for Miley?
“If I had a child that was doing that or if I was advising a parent, I would say get professional help immediately,” he said. “This is a child who is in trouble and who is suffering and this is her way of trying to manage that. Get professional help.”
So far, we've only heard one thing from Billy Ray Cyrus on the incident. He's very sad about it.

I read through some of the comments and I have to say, that those people who are saying to leave her alone because what she did was legal in some states and the fact that she is 18 is not helping her. Miley Cyrus, from her early teenage years has been on one of the biggest TV shows on television and she has now took that opportunity for granted. I am sure that at some times, it might of been hard for her but she has dealt with that in an unacceptable way because not let forget she is not the only child star and where I'll admit some of those went off the rails, in this more modern world it can be helped; you have to question why Selena Gomez who has been on TV since a younger child than Miley has managed to stay a role model for younger children and Demi Lovato who has seen the bad in what has happened and decided to get help. This has not only just started because of her parents divorce, and if im right - her parents divorce was partly because of arguments of Miley's ongoing wild chil

She wasnt suffering doctor, she was laughing and having fun....leave her alone....gossip channels on tv like to air this garbage because they have nothing better to do, they need to fill up their air space for their air head staff...
I'd avise gossip tv to just show us film and tv skits....not gossip....when people are NOT working, leave them alone....HR would fire anyone that kept this gossip stuff up...tv stations need ethics..............

I feel sorry for alot of the children who are put in the limelight. Those who have famous parent or parents have it even harder. Most children today do not have a chance to be children. Instead they have to be told about terrible things early in life just to protect them from all the vices and tragic things that they are confronted in life. Miley was one who was thrust into the role of an adult thru the shows and media and even tho her father was on the show with her he was unable to be the father that she needed. I cannot pretend to act like the perfect parent, but children like Miley need alot of love and direction from someone. In my life, that was GOD. Maybe Miley and other young children should be introduced to HIM. I hope that Miley finds her love and direction very soon.
