Britney Spears is working through a tumultuous time. A source close to the singer claims her current legal battle and conservatorship drama with father Jamie Spears has taken its toll on her mental health.

“Britney is dealing with debilitating emotional issues that need to be treated with medications,” the source told People.

“It’s like she isn’t in control over her emotions right now,” the insider claimed. “Everything is very up and down.”

The source explained that Britney’s doctors are currently working to find a new combination of medications that work for her. “There is no doubt that she needs to be on medications to try and find a balance again, but it’s very scary when the meds are not working,” the insider said.
