Former Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona has agreed to talk about her depression for the first time she was institutionalize in the Meadows clinic in Arizona. Kerry confessed she's feeling better since she began the treatment and hoping to return home as soon as possible. "I'm so glad I came here." says Kerry.

Katona said that, as part of her treatment, she has to re-live her childhood memories. "I have poured them out," she explained. "They've made it clear they need to find out everything about my past."

Publicist Max Clifford added: "What the clinic is trying to do is work on the effects on Kerry of her rejection as a child. From that comes a desperate need to be loved."

Kerry Katona, born 6th September 1980 in Warrington, is a British television presenter and former pop singer with girl band Atomic Kitten.

Before her pop career, she worked as a topless model, a career choice for which she was well-qualified, being the possessor of a then D-cup bosom. Her bustline has since increased to approximately an F-cup.

Kerry left Atomic Kitten in 2001 when she became pregnant, having enjoyed only limited success with the band. From there she moved into television, appearing on and presenting a mix of light entertainment programs such as Britain's sexiest..., Loose Women and Elimidate.

In January 2002 she married Westlife star Brian McFadden and changed her name to Kerry McFadden. They had two daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue.
