Troubled Heather Locklear checks herself into a clinic

Actress Heather Locklear is receiving psychological treatment for anxiety and depression.

The TV blonde checked herself into a facility in Arizona, her representatives confirmed.

It comes after Locklear's doctor called emergency services in March claiming he feared she was suicidal.

A spokeswoman for the 46-year-old told People magazine: "Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression.

"She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment.

"This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released."

Website TMZ reported in March how a doctor called 911 and told the operator: "I have a patient and I have a feeling she's suicidal."

Sources reportedly said the doctor was afraid Locklear might overdose on depression medication.

When paramedics arrived they were satisfied Locklear was not in danger and left within 10 minutes.

Locklear's representatives played down the incident but the tape of the emergency call with the 'suicide' comment was later released.

The former Dynasty star began taking medication after she filed for divorce from rocker Richie Sambora in February 2006, according to the US publication.

Locklear and Sambora have a ten-year-old daughter, Ava, together.

After filming the Lifetime movie Flirting With 40 in the spring, Locklear decided to head to an in-patient treatment cente.

'She wanted to feel better and get to the bottom of what was troubling her,' a longtime associate said. 'She's had a rough year.'

Sambora began dating Locklear's former friend actress Denise Richards shortly after the marriage ended. He and Richards ended their relationship last year.

The rocker was arrested on a DUI charge earlier this year while daughter Ava was in the car with him.

Actor Jack Wagner, 48, who has been dating Locklear since April 2007, offered words of support .

'Anyone who has the courage to seek help in order to live a healthy life gets my support 110 percent,' he said.

The actress was previously married to rocker Tommy Lee, whose marriage ended in divorce in 1993 after seven years together.
