Actress Amanda Bynes has reportedly been placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold
Actress Amanda Bynes has made headlines again after reportedly being placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold. This news comes almost a year after her conservatorship was terminated, and just days after she cancelled her appearance at the 90s Con event.
According to TMZ, Bynes called 911 on herself after she was found wandering around downtown Los Angeles naked and alone. Law enforcement sources claim that she was taken to a nearby police station, where a mental health team determined that she needed to be placed on a 5150 hold. This means that Bynes will be detained for 72 hours in a psychiatric hospital.
This is not the first time that Bynes has sought treatment for mental health issues. In 2014, she claimed on Twitter that she had been diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder and manic depression, although she later walked back the statement. Bynes has also spoken publicly about her struggles with addiction to the prescription drug Adderall.
Bynes has had a troubled past, which includes run-ins with the law and involuntary hospitalizations. In 2013, she was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold after starting a fire in the driveway of a home in Thousand Oaks, California. Her conservatorship was first established that year and was made permanent in 2014.
The conservatorship was terminated last year with the support of Bynes's parents. At the time, she thanked her fans for their support and said that she had been working hard to improve her health so that she could live and work independently. She also mentioned that she was excited about her upcoming endeavors, including a fragrance line.
After the conservatorship ended, Bynes moved in with her ex-fiancé, Paul Michael, whom she met at a sober living facility. However, the couple ended their engagement in July after Bynes accused Michael of relapsing and watching porn. He denied the accusations.
Bynes was set to reunite with her All That co-stars at the 90s Con event over the weekend. However, she cancelled her appearance at the last minute due to an "unknown illness." The convention would have marked Bynes's first public appearance since the end of her conservatorship.
It is not clear what led to Bynes's latest psychiatric hold, but her ex-fiancé claims that she has been "off her meds." Bynes has not been in contact with her family for some time, according to an insider who spoke to NBC News.
It is important to remember that mental health issues are a serious matter and should be treated with compassion and understanding. We wish Amanda Bynes all the best as she navigates this difficult time.
