Susan Boyle has been released from a London psychiatric facility after a five-day stay, the Times of London reports.

Her brother Gerry Boyle reports she’s on the mend. "She’s much happier. She seems a lot more like herself,” he said, adding that his sister has regained confidence her career isn’t over: "She’s now beginning to believe that, ’Yes indeed, I will be a singer.’ "
