Amanda Bynes Checks Out Of Facility With Recovery Plan In Place

by

Like many child stars, Amanda Bynes has dealt with the repercussions of fame. She’s had a very public struggle with mental health that’s been ongoing for years. Most recently she called LAPD on herself two weeks ago in distress and reportedly believed she could harm herself. As a result, she was placed on a psychiatric hold. It’s the second time this year she’s been placed on such a hold. The first time came back in March when she flagged down a stranger to call 911 after she was found wandering naked in LA.

Last week Amanda Bynes’s psychiatric hold was extended for at least a week. Now, according to TMZ Bynes has left the facility less than two weeks after she was admitted. Thankfully, she’s left with a plan in place for how to maintain her mental well-being. Their sources claim that she’ll start in outpatient care with a medical professional checking in daily. She’ll be monitored to make sure she’s taking medication and remaining in a good headspace.

Fans are celebrating Amanda Bynes’ release similarly to when she was released earlier this year in April. She was spotted hitting the nail salon following her release. Many interpreted that as a sign that the Amanda Show star was improving. Despite her recent psychiatric hold fans are optimistic that she’s improved.

Many have compared the mental health dealings Amanda Bynes has gone through with that of Bam Margera. The Jackass star has had an even more public battle with his mental health. Family members had to take to Twitter last month just to learn his whereabouts after some concerning texts. Margera has also been placed on numerous psychiatric holds during his ongoing mental health struggles. What do you think about Amanda Bynes being released from her psychiatric hold?

Amanda Bynes Still In Psychiatric Facility, Hold Extended

by

Amanda Bynes is still struggling with her mental health. TMZ has reported that the former child star will undergo an extended period of psychiatric care. According to sources, her loved ones are worried about her recurring cycle of mental health breakdowns. Amanda completed a mandatory 72-hour psychiatric hold that began last weekend. However, the facility has determined that she will be committed for at least another week. During this time, doctors will focus on stabilizing her through medication and therapy.

It is known that Amanda responds well to medication. However, like many individuals with mental illness, she falls into a common pattern of discontinuing her medication once she starts feeling better. This can often lead to subsequent breakdown incidents. Not much is known about the situation currently. It is unclear whether Amanda had stopped taking her medication prior to the recent incident that prompted her current psychiatric hold.

Amanda’s Conservatorship And Declining Mental Health

Amanda Bynes was famously subjected to a conservatorship due to her mental health struggles. During the conservatorship, her mother Lynn was responsible for ensuring she took her medication. Reportedly, Amanda was always compliant. Medication was never an issue during that period. However, the conservatorship ended in March 2022. Sadly, this is the second psychiatric hold in three months for Amanda. Obviously, the situation has worsened since the end of the conservatorship. Furthermore, it has been causing concern among her family and friends.

Despite their worries, there is little that Amanda’s loved ones can do at this point. In the end, it was up to a court to decide whether or not the conservatorship continued. The judge’s decision was to end the conservatorship. It would be extremely challenging, if not impossible, to initiate a new conservatorship petition. This is because it would have to be heard by the same judge who terminated the previous one. This means that there is a recurring pattern of mental health breakdowns without the ability for intervention from her parents. Clearly, this is a significant concern for those close to Amanda.
