Amanda Bynes placed on psychiatric hold

[Slayer]

Sending her so much love, proud that she is the one who called for help.

First of all, I really feel for her and I'm glad that she had the clarity to ask for help.  But she's been known to have psychotic episodes, so I really question why there wasn't someone watching over her.

Gawd how sad. i used to love The Amanda Show and some of the films she did in 2000s. i remember watching an interview she did last year or maybe the year before and she seemed well again and she enrolled in fashion college [although in saying that, did she not get kicked out for getting other students to do her homework?}. shes obviously not very well. from what i know though it seems unlike Britneys parents, her parents have her best interests at heart so hopefully shes getting the help she needs

We’re still rooting for her no matter what, Setbacks are real and I hope there will be a better support system in place    

[MikeHunt]

Same thing happened to drag queen, Katya Zamolodchikova. She sought treatment and has been thriving ever since. Amanda will get there.

Ugh I worry for her. I hope she can find the space to heal.

[GlitterRain]

Sending her all of the love and good vibes 🤍

[GlitterRain]

Ok, I will watch Easy A for the 100th time. 

[jordeezy river red]

Good to know that she realized she needed help.

[Isla]

Oh this is so sad, especially knowing she herself was the one who had to get help. Sending her a lot of love.

I’m glad nothing serious happened to her. I’m glad she is aware of her mental health struggles and acknowledged that she was coming down from an episode. That is a pretty big accomplishment. I hope she is on the path to healing right now, and has someone safe to go home to. How awful that she was alone in such a vulnerable state.

There was no one watching over her because she is no longer in a conservatorship. These are situations where a conservatorship could’ve saved a life, but our system is so flawed and designed to strip said person of all their rights. It’s a very sad situation and I’m glad she’s ok. 

[ElToxico]

Man this really breaks my heart....I can only imagine the evils she went through as a kid for her to still be struggling with this issues....

[MomOfTheYear]

Poor girl. Glad we're in 2023 not 2000. There'd be much less compassion and understanding back then. 

[Haruxx]

heart and prayers to her.

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure she stopped doing w£ed a while back. She has mental health issues.

Love ya Amanda. 💚🌻🤘

Damn ... why aren't we on psychiatric medication, then? I hope it wasn't substance-induced psychotic episodes.

Love her so much 😔 it’s so terrifying that she was by herself in downtown LA (!!!!) at night, having a psychotic episode. I’m so happy she’s okay

She has schizophrenia and sometimes medications stop working and have to be changed up. Psychotic episodes come and go when someone has this disease. You can be stable for years and then fall into one again. It's truly amazing that she recognized what was happening and called for help. Many people with schizophrenia have what is called "anosognosia" or a lack of insight into their illness. I think it's a really good sign that she knew something was wrong.
