While some had speculated that Heath Ledger’s death might have prompted her admittance, the actress says the decision was actually months in coming:

“It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it.
