By Access HollywoodJune 24, 2008, 9:35 am PDT

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Heather Locklear has checked in to an Arizona facility, seeking treatment for psychological issues, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

"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," a rep for Locklear told Access Hollywood.

People.com was the first outlet to report the news on Tuesday.

Back in March, paramedics responded to a 911 call for a suicidal subject at Locklear's home.

A man believed to be Locklear's doctor (although he was never identified by name on the 911 tape) told a dispatcher he was worried about one of his patients.

"I have a patient and I have a feeling she is suicidal," the caller told the dispatcher. "I would want someone to go [to her home]."

However, it was found the call did not originate from her residence and when authorities arrived, no problem was found.

Following the bizarre incident, a rep for Locklear said her client was fine and not in need of medical assistance.

"[I] spoke with Heather and she is fine. She never requested medical assistance and did not place a 911 call. Nor did anyone from her house call 911 or place a call requesting medical assistance," her rep said.

    She's aging and that's depressing, especially for somebody who relies on her appearance.

    It is so sad that beautirul women have to go through this. You think just because a person has money and looks that everything is alright, but they are the ones who are really messed up.

    wow and I do mean WOW... Heather is fantastic and I agree with calaifornia. Depression hurts everyone. As for prayer, please pray but make sure your not judging someone elses choice of whom they pray to because to me and you it may be God or Jesus but to someone else it may be Budda. A higher prower is always there no matter what you call it, a greater consciences is there for us all.
