Lark Voorhies Bipolar Disorder: 'Saved by the Bell" Star Denies Mental Health Issues as 'Small Opinionata' in Bizarre, Rambling Interview [VIDEO]

In a recent interview with Christina McLarty on "Entertainment Tonight," former "Saved by the Bell" star Lark Voorhies heatedly denies allegations that she was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. During the rather bizarre interview, 38-year-old Voorhies tends to ramble and stumble upon many of her words and statements, and finds it hard to coherently transfer her personal thoughts into words.

In a rather revealing interview with People magazine last month, Voorhies' 64-year-old mother Tricia admitted that her daughter had been diagnosed with and is currently battling bipolar disorder. Lark immediately brushed off the rumors, claiming that her mother was simply "over-loving" and worried too much. Even so, Lark's rather odd behavior during interviews with both People and Yahoo! News began raising some eyebrows. When talking with the popular entertainment magazine, the former "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" star would supposedly often stop talking "mid-sentence" and mumble to herself. And according to Yahoo.com, Lark was defiant about getting psychiatric help for the "voices in her head" - "They can't explain it," she supposedly said. "They can't treat it. They don't know about it." Catch that interview here:

Lark's "Saved by the Bell" co-star Dustin Diamond (Screech) also has his worries - in an interview with RadarOnline Diamond admitted, "At first she seemed normal, but as the night progressed she delayed saying her lines and went AWOL between takes. The person who said 'Hi' to me when she first showed up on-set was not the same person at the end of the night. It was like talking to two different people" (the two starred together in the indie flick "Little Creeps").

Here is the recent interview with "Entertainment Tonight," where Lark attempts to deny having any sort of mental health issues. Lark claims, "It is a small, uh, opinionata that is getting blown currently out of proportions. I have no stating reasons why anyone should worry about me. Clearly, I am a very strong, top-of-the line, always riding to it personage. I have no worries myself, nor do I exude, exhibit or possess within my living stratus any reason why someone should worry [on] my behalf... It's completely fictional."

Lark struggles to coherently explain her feelings and observations - when asked how she stays so "strong," the indie film star states, "It's much like fighting ... when you enlist in the Army, you get yourself physically fit, mentally fit and informational-wise fit, so it's just the same. It's like stage boot camp. You know, you put all the right elements together and you keep them going ... we have to be entertainers. This is our particular angle."

So what do Mstarz fans think about Lark's mental health condition, should she indeed seek professional help for bipolar disorder?
