suffering from exhaustion...

I was reading this story about Kate Moss snorting coke through a road cone, it was the usual crap but at the end it mentioned her being admitted to some rehad facility earlier in her career 'suffering from exhaustion'. I'm sure modeling is hard work, changing clothes dozens of times, snorting all that blow etc. but is it really harder than, say working on a paving crew? Or planting trees? Or digging a ditch? I haven't heard of one ditch digger being admitted anywhere because he was "suffering from exhaustion". Does that even make any sense? Isn't the cure for exhaustion, sleep and relaxation? Can't you do that at home? If someone is 'suffering from hunger' just give them a sandwich, don't admit them to some bullshit clinic. If someone is suffering from exhaustion send them home to bed. "But they are under intense stress, they have so many obligations" People in Iraq and New Orleans are under intense stress, people in Darfur are under intense stress, models suffer from delusions of grandeur and that can be cured easily, a kick in the ass and a slap upside the head...
