London - Lily Allen is being treated at a London clinic for depression.
The 22-year-old singer was heartbroken after suffering a miscarriage in January and then splitting from the father, Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons, and has now decided to seek professional help at a top facility.
A friend told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The last couple of months have been really hard for Lily. She was so happy to be pregnant and was willing to give up her showbiz life to settle down and have a family.
"Her miscarriage was a huge blow and she hasn't really recovered. She has tried to put on a brave face, but she found that she needed to get profession help."
Lily, who recently admitted she feels "sad and lonely", is said to be slowly coming out of her black hole thanks to the treatment.
The friend added: "She is responding well and is pleased she is being allowed to film her TV chat show Lily Allen and Friends and to keep in touch with the friends supporting her." Bang Showbiz.com
