VIDEO: Dr. Drew Says Charlie Sheen Needs Medication
Posted on Apr 05, 2011 @ 06:35AM
Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen "needs some medication," as his current path will inevitably lead him to jail, an institution or an early grave, Dr. Drew Pinsky told RadarOnline.com's Senior Executive Editor Dylan Howard on the premiere of Pinsky's new HLN talk show, Dr. Drew, on Monday.
Howard asked Dr. Drew how seriously the public should take the Sheen they've seen in various interviews, as the actor has openly discussed how he's adopted an alter ego persona, a la the late groundbreaking comic Lenny Bruce.

Dr. Drew said that "It's one thing to say you're playing a role, it's another thing to believe" you're the actual character.

“So what does [Sheen] need then?" Howard asked Dr. Drew, who responded, "He needs some Depakote (a drug used to treat the manic phase of bipolar disorder) ... he needs some medication."

Dr. Drew said that Sheen would greatly benefit from a simpler life and longstanding sobriety, noting that if he continues on the jagged path he's been on, the only options are death, institutionalization or jail.

The actor has reacted with hostility to Dr. Drew’s analysis in the past, as in an interview with Southern California's K-EARTH 101 last month, Sheen said, "I think me and [Dr. Drew] Pinsky should jump in the ring, and I can show him how unstable these fists really are."

Dr Drew needs to take a dose of his own medicine and get into therapy now! Honestly, all these crap rehab shows with z list celebs on t.v really are a pain in the rectum - WE aren't paid to be therapists, WTF should we suffer lol?!

For once, I agree with Dr. Drew. The guy is bipolar for sure. I know these signs because my fiance is bipolar. Trust me, this guy needs treatment fast!

Dr. Drew is addicted to diagnosing FAMOUS people he has never treated. Dr. Drew is addicted to FAME & MONEY. Does he still have a CA medical license? He cleverly states it is his OPINION. He does not use the word, "diagnosis".

You don't need to treat someone to diagnose them. LOL :) It's done everyday.

I lost all respect for "DR"Drew after he said Angelina Jolie is currently a heroin addict. She looks healthy,gave birth to 3 healthy children, is raising 6 kids,is an excellent actress & UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.
