Amanda Bynes’ ongoing mental health struggles continued over the weekend. According to Page Six, on Sunday she was picked up by police after a call was placed about a woman in distress. Sources identified the woman as Bynes, who was taken in for a mental health evaluation following the incident. The former Nickelodeon star is reportedly still in police custody. It’s the most recent chapter in a long struggle with mental health issues for the child star.
Back in March, she was reportedly found wandering an LA street completely naked. She told bystanders she was coming down from a psychiatric episode and eventually called police on herself. An evaluation following the event determined that she needed to be put in a 5150 psychiatric hold. She was ultimately released three weeks later but failed to start scheduled outpatient treatment in April. It’s been a little over a year since Bynes was freed from an 8-year long conservatorship. According to sources however, she is still on good terms with her family and communicating with her siblings.

Despite everything going on in her life, it’s also been reported that the conservatorship she spent almost a decade under won’t be reinstated.
