TMZ has learned "Designing Women" star Delta Burke checked herself into a psychiatric hospital last week for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and "hoarding." 
Burke, 51, has done an interview with TMZ TV, in which she describes how hoarding (being a pack rat) has ruined her life, but she believes she may now be able to conquer it.
Check out the preview. Watch TMZ TV tonight for the interview. Check local listings.
61. That poor lady, I don't understand these types of illnesses, it's easy to say "just throw the crap away!" but, apparently they can't just make it go away. Makes me appreciate my life even more.

62. Delta is a very talented actress. It is shocking to hear about her mental problem. But at the same time, she has shown a lot of maturity by checking herself into the hospital for treatment instead of doing what some other celebrities do which is create public spectacles of their mental meltdowns.

63. It's nice to see that some people are getting help or trying to get help for their problems. Now if the rest of the world would try and get some help.....because EVERYONE has problems and no one is perfect....then this world would be a better place!

64. After seeing how screwed up most of Hollywood celebrities are it's a wonder why anyone would want to move there and go into that profession. All the money in the world would not be attractive enough to live that lifestyle. Perhaps "stars" need to be neurotic and narcissistic to begin with to make it in Hollywood for careers which don't have much longevity..

65. Medications alone don't resolve issues like she describes. Hopefully she gets some good, intensive therapy for her issues.

67. As a healthcare worker, I know the problem with folk no matter their age , race or size. It can be a BIG problem when we let ourself go and do whatever we think with this one body we will ever have here on earth. I beg of you regardless of your status in life- TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY! Delta, I enjoy her smart crack on the telly, however, she is now overweight, older, and NEED to make life change that will keep her sane- free from fear, self doubt and as a religious person, she knows how to pray so Delta my sister, ask God to help you make the necessary change in your life and get centured once again. Life is just too short for people like you to make a fool of yourself- FIX YR PROBLEMS dearie, and shed the clutters and have peace and contentment. You will live to be 100. Praying for you to find PEACE-

69. Aww I love Delta!! At least she is seeking help for her problems. Millions of Americans have mental illness. Its nothing to be ashamed about. Its the ones who are in denial that are the drain upon society. (cough cough Britney)
Get better soon, Delta!!!!!!

71. I agree JL. Sometimes you need to be removed from the situation to get better with the issues she is having. Good for her for being brave and honest about it, it may help others out there who are suffering from the same problems.

72. EVER SINCE I SAW A VIDEO OF HER HUSBAND SHOOTING ARROWS INTO PENNED-UP LIVE PIGS FOR 'SPORT', I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR HER. HER CONDONING ANIMAL CRUELTY OF THAT MAGNITUDE IN INEXCUSABLE.
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN IT, AND HEARD THOSE POOR DEFENSELESS ANIMALS SCREAMING IN AGONY WHILE HE LAUGHED, YOU WOULDN'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO HER EITHER................

74. Oh Delta! I was sad to hear this- We hadn't heard about/from you for a while -I and I assumed you were living happily ever after. Yes, Hoarding is a DISEASE. Glad you are getting help for everything.....I am sure you will work it all out- and the fog will be lifted and you will be content with yourself again. I have always been a big fanor your acting. But I am a bigger fan of people willing admit when they need help. I will be thinking of you- I know you can do it girl!!!! God Bless
