Susan Boyle released from mental health clinic

[June 05, 2009]  LONDON (AP) -- The brother of talent-show contestant Susan Boyle says the singer has left a mental health care facility and is doing better.

Gerry Boyle told GMTV Friday that his sister had been released from the London clinic. She was admitted Sunday, after coming in second place in the "Britain's Got Talent" television show.

Gerry Boyle says his sister suffered from an anxiety attack but now seems "a lot more like herself."

In eight weeks, Boyle went from the quiet life of a church volunteer in a small town in Scotland to global fame.
