Britney Spears' father Jamie has implemented six safety rules into his daughter's 'recovery' regime in a bid to prevent her from slipping back into depression.

The pop princess' dad - who is managing her financial assets - wants to make sure Britney doesn't buckle under the pressure of combining motherhood with her pop career comeback.

The singer was reportedly diagnosed with bipolar disorder earlier this year after being commited by her family to a psychiatric ward in January.

A source tells Life & Style, "She hates that she's struggling and may need medication the rest of her life.

"But she's starting to accept that it's just part of who she is."
