<p dir="auto">No she didn't. Proof of that is she's still around spouting nonsense. Had she ever been properly examined by a psychiatric team back in the 60s, she would have been given the Frances Farmer treatment. Which would have saved lots of ink and paper devoted to thoroughly stupid remarks for decades.<br />

<p dir="auto">She attempted suicide five times. The first was when she was 15 and before she became famous. She wanted to marry Roger Vadim but her parents made her wait until she was 18, and since they didn't like Vadim, they threatened to send BB to school in London.<br />
In 1958, she had a nervous breakdown and had to get her stomach pumped. Her mother helped her concoct a story to the press about how it was food poisoning.<br />
BB was partly responsible for the misery she suffered that led to the attempt in 1960. She and her husband were drama queens and one writer described the situation as the two of them competing to see who was the most miserable. Her husband Jacques also tried to kill himself during their marriage and in response, BB took morphine injections. On the set of<br />
La Verite<br />
, director Cluzot verbally abused her in order to get her to emit the distressed emotions needed for her character. She had also given birth nine months earlier, so it's possible she was going through post-partum depression.<br />
During the 70s she swallowed sleeping pills after becoming depressed over news about slaughtered seals. Her last attempt was in 1992 (had to get her stomach pumped again) although no news article officially called it a suicide attempt, just speculation.</p>

<p dir="auto">She didn't lock herself in one, but she did spend some time in psychiatric care when she attempted suicide in 1960.</p>
