DELTA BURKE - HOARDER DELTA BURKE CHECKS INTO PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL

Beloved American TV star DELTA BURKE has checked into a psychiatric hospital in a desperate bid to conquer her obsessive-compulsive disorder and "hoarding" issues. The 51-year-old actress - who is famed for her role in U.S. comedy Designing Women in the late 1980s - admits she feared becoming one of those sad women who die under a pile of collected newspapers and bric-a-brack. She tells TMZ.com, "I was on so many medications and they just weren't working and I knew I needed to get my meds worked out. I was on five (different medications). "We were thinking the mania hadn't been properly diagnosed. "I have severe depression. I knew I had general anxiety and I knew I had problems with obsessive compulsion and the hoarding, which I really want to work on. "Have you seen those shows where they don't find the body for days? And they go in to clean up, and it's stacks of newspapers up to the ceiling? That's hoarding, and I hate it."
