I'm with you on that one. I definitely believe she's got some sort of mental health issue going on, but it doesn't strike me as depression. Maybe anxiety or paranoia, but not depression.

She very likely has both. Depression and anxiety go hand-in-hand and feed into each other.
Yeah I get that, not going to delve into my own medical history because frankly it's irrelevant as I'm not Britney, but I do personally think anxiety is her main problem.
She gets anxious over mess, chaos, places with lots of people, that sort of stuff. She then overthinks those situations and freaks out about them which can make her feel negative and depressed.
I think PPD plays a lot into it as well. I believe if she didn't have the kids she'd be very anxious, but without the depression aspect of it all. She always seems to have gotten worse after having a baby, so rather than clinical/situational depression, I think hers is PPD mixed with her already-present anxiety.
From her """coming out"""" video, I also felt at times she was describing depersonalisation disorder, which is connected to severe anxiety. But y'know. What do I know.
ETA: I'm not saying Britney does/doesn't have anything. I'm not a doctor (or psychiatrist, or whatever type of profession you need to be to diagnose people in the USA) I do fully believe she has PPD, but I don't feel like that's the "main" mental health issue that impacts on her life, and even if the PPD goes away or gets treated, others would still manifest.
