In 1999, she was at the peak of her depression. She was, at that point, terrified of losing her career or even harming herself, so she asked her family to take her to a mental hospital. The facility had padded walls, straitjackets, and electric shock treatments available. But Marie decided against the treatment and continued with her recovery in a safer way.
