Anyways, TMZ’s sources at Promises rehab quote doctors at the facility who tend to think that Britney’s problems have less to do with substance abuse, and more to do with Post-Partum Depression.

Sources tell TMZ that Britney’s doctors have two operating theories — either that she suffers from post-partum depression or bipolar disorder. The doctors strongly believe post-partum is the problem.

As for substance abuse, as one source says, “No doubt about it – she likes to drink.” But doctors believe the drinking is a way Spears has coped with a bigger problem.

According to the site, Britney is currently reading Brooke Shield’s book “Down Came the Rain,” in which Shields reveals her battle with post-partum depression.
