Get well soon, Sinead

This morning's headlines include the news that singer Sinead O'Connor has checked into hospital with depression.

The Nothing Compares 2 U star, 45, announced the news on Twitter, describing herself as "not at all well". However, she assured fans she'd be "grand in a few weeks" and urged them not to worry, saying: "Should only worry if a depressed person DOESNT go hospital. all will be well." (sic)

What really strikes me about Sinead's words is how positive she sounds. She expresses a great deal of confidence in the medical team that will be treating her and seems determined to be back on her feet soon.

The songstress clearly sees seeking treatment as a positive step rather than a sign of failure or cause for sadness, and she's refreshingly open about her experiences.

Get well soon, Sinead!
