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.
