The singer made this known during a chat with Sun on Sunday during which she noted that the decision came in the wake of an “incredibly difficult” six months in which she worked on an autobiography.
“It has been unbelievably traumatic reliving an emotionally abusive relationship and confronting so many massive issues in my life,” said the star whose real name is Melanie Brown.
She revealed that she had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder; she also shared a link on Twitter to a US government site explaining the condition.
Mel, who said she uses alcohol to numb her pain, further said that the course of treatment she was receiving was “really helping me. I am fully aware I am at a crisis point.”
This comes months after her nasty separation drama from film producer Stephan Belafonte who she had been married to from 2007 to 2017. The duo separated in 2016, and all through 2017 got embroiled in the messiest divorce battle yet which saw the former couple accusing each other of drug addiction, verbal and psychological abuse.
Mel took out a temporary restraining order against but lost out in court after she as ordered to pay him spousal support and also to allow him access to their daughter.
Now, Mel says she is entering rehab to become “a better version of myself for my kids, for my family and for all the people who have supported me in my life.”
