Kim Richards’ Child Admitted To Psychiatric Hospital

There has had a ton of controversy surrounding Kim Richards lately. As the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star continues to defend her sobriety and take care of her ailing ex-husband Monty, a new report reveals that one of Kim’s children has been admitted to a psychiatric facility.

Kim is the mother of four children; Kimberly, 21, Chad, 22, Whitney, 24, and Brooke, 29.

Although the report doesn’t specify which of Kim’s children was hospitalized, an insider tells RadarOnline that the adult “was admitted over the weekend to a psychiatric facility in the South Bay area of Los Angeles.”

“This wasn’t an involuntary psychiatric hold, but it came very close,” the source said. “[The individual] has battled with depression for years and it’s unclear at this point how long they’ll have to remain in the hospital. This is obviously very, very hard for Kim.” “While everyone hates to see a child continue to struggle, Kim’s friends are even more concerned for her well-being,” the insider adds.

“To say people are concerned about Kim is an understatement. She is extremely vulnerable right now and is just existing on autopilot.”

AllThingsRH sources reports that it's Kim’s son Chad who's struggling with depression.
