In response to the outburst, on Nov. 13 Brown told the press that he experienced a "setback, mentally and emotionally," in addition, "he had issues with his attention deficit disorder, and underwent a period of depression." 

The hip hop artist who is still on probation for his 2009 assault of pop singer Rihanna, has admitted to having anger issues. The artist says he is hoping to seek help for coping with his rage. Unfortunately, his track record begs to differ. 

Hopefully the threat of jail as an alternative will enable him to successfully complete this stint in rehab, and the singer will finally receive the help he needs to stay sane.
