Demi was on an international tour as a special guest of the Jonas Brothers, but left the tour over the weekend to enter an undisclosed facility, according to the statement.
"Demi has decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help," the statement said. "She is doing just that. Demi and her family ask that the media respect her privacy during this difficult time."
Why do they even ask?
Possible reasons for Demi's plight include:
* Bullying at school. "It was
more verbal harassment than physical abuse, but that's actually more scarring than anything," she's said. "And I had to leave because I just couldn't deal with it. And I've home-schooled ever since."
* Her break-up with Joe Jonas.
The two have said they're still friends, but . . .
* The pressure of Hollywood.
That's what Demi's dad said did his daughter in.
"Dianne [Demi's mom] and I each played in a band and we toured all over the United States and Canada, and our oldest daughter Dallas went with us and I could see then what the pressures would be like for a child on tour because it was hard on Dallas, too," Demi's father Patrick told RadarOnline.

Patrick is battling cancer and divorced from Demi's mother so those are sure to be two more stressers.
"I've had cancer, I've been in the hospital for two months and I just got out," Patrick told Radar Online. "She hasn't visited; she's been too busy, she's been way too busy."
So maybe we should also add guilt.

Us Weekly, the reason for Billy Ray Cyrus' split with wife Tish is that Tish reportedly had an affair with Bret Michaels.
Miley dueted with Bret in February on "Nothing to Lose" and that's when it started.
So actually there was something to lose.
