Locklear, 46, began taking medication after she filed for divorce from rocker Richie Sambora in February 2006, according to People.
"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment," said the actress's rep, Cece Yorke. "This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released."
Heather has had a rough time after her husband Richie Sambora's relationship with neighbor and former friend Denise Richards was discovered.
The Lifetime movie "Flirting With 40" wrapped in the spring and Locklear decided to head to an in-patient treatment center.
"She wanted to feel better and get to the bottom of what was troubling her," a longtime associate told People. "She's had a rough year."
Locklear and Sambora, 48, have a daughter, Ava, 10.
Actor Jack Wagner, 48, who has been dating Locklear said to People,"anyone who has the courage to seek help in order to live a healthy life gets my support 110 percent."
