Britney Spears

Larry Rudolph, the longtime manager of mentally ill pop singer, Britney Spears, 39, has resigned. The latest round of controversy concerning her conservatorship has people heading for the hills. Spears made a plea to the court to remove her dad, Jamie Spears, as conservator and end the conservatorship.

However, the judge denied Spears' requests, as the singer is struggling with severe mental illness and needs supervision lest she harms herself or others, as she did before being placed in a psychiatric facility and medicated.

Spears' mental state is not good. Freeing her from the conservatorship could end in her death or someone else's in a schizophrenic rage. Spears needs to remain on the medicines as prescribed by her doctors. However, she is demanding the medication stop as well.

I have stated on this site for years that Spears is schizophrenic, which has an increased mortality rate. Spears' dad also indicated in a court document that she has dementia, which would constitute a "grave medical diagnosis" as was stated in a New Yorker article this week.

The New Yorker reported regarding a person on Britney's team, "God bless her, I felt sorry for her. But at the same time, don’t be telling tall tales.Your problems, what was wrong with you, your shortcomings—don’t keep trying to blame everyone else for it.”

The New Yorker further reported, "The defenders of the conservatorship offer a set of familiar narratives to explain her ire: that Spears is being manipulated by a man—at this moment, according to some, Asghari—with an interest in commandeering her fortune, and that there is a grave medical diagnosis behind the arrangement that the public has no right to know. “It is so f*****g irresponsible to say, ‘Let her do whatever she wants to do,’ ” the member of her team said."

Yet her conservators, who include her father, Jamie Spears, have controlled her spending, communications, and personal decisions...

Mortality rate trends in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder: a nationwide study with 20 years of follow-up

Patients with severe mental illness (SMI) have a reduced life expectancy of one to two decades as compared to the general population, with most years of life lost due to somatic diseases. Most previous studies on disorders constituting SMI, e.g. schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, have investigated the disorders separately and hence not compared the disorders in terms of mortality rates relative to the background population.
