Amanda Bynes’ mental health has yet to improve. It’s so bad, in fact, that her doctors secretly got an order from a judge that allows them to hold her for another month! Amanda has been held on an involuntary commitment at a psychiatric facility for the last 17 days, and this will allow for at least another 30 days. Her parents are still unsure whether they will try for another conservatorship since she feels “betrayed” by them, but the likely scenario is that the psychiatric hold will be extended for a long time.
Amanda Bynes May Be Held For Up To 1 Year On Involuntary Confinement
As Amanda Bynes’ condition has gone from bad to worse, the former child star is headed for another conservatorship, but instead of her parents this time, doctors are planning to get the type that can keep her confined and medicated for up to 1 year – an LPS Hold. The LPS Hold allows doctors to confine Amanda at either the hospital or another secure facility, and administer medication against her will. As you’ll recall, Amanda just came off of an LPS Hold last month, but it’s clear that it wasn’t enough help. Her doctors will reportedly ask a judge for a new LPS Hold within a week, after Amanda is fully diagnosed.
When It Rains It Pours: Chris Brown Suffers From What While Being In Jail?
I’d be the first to admit that some of these star need a little tough love AKA reality check. For the past 6 weeks, Chris Brown has definitely been undergoing a traumatic experience being behind bars, having a taste of what’s to come if the assault charge is not settled. In truth, it may have been the wake up call the spiraling young star needed to set him back on the proper course. While the scared straight tactics may prevent him from having another publicly violent episode in the future, you definitely can’t help but feel for Breezy spending his 25th Birthday behind bars.

(Photos) She’s Still A Little…Off…But Amanda Bynes Is Doing Much Better!
Amanda Bynes was released last week from an extended stay at a mental health center, and though she’s doing much better, she still has a ways to go. Yesterday, the actress went out on a family trip to Disneyland (she’s under a tight guardianship until she’s at 100%, so they won’t be leaving her side), and she clearly had other priorities, as she was spotted rather amusingly trying to reapply her lipstick while on one of the rides. Hey, if the paparazzi are watching, you got to look good, right?
Amanda Bynes Deemed Competent Enough To Stand Trial For DUI
Though Amanda Bynes is still receiving treatment for her mental illness (as she’s been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder,) a judge has deemed her mentally capable of understanding the nature of the criminal charges she faces for her DUI, so it will now go forward. However, it is highly unlikely the case will go before a jury. Instead, it will probably just end up as a plea bargain. As previously reported, Amanda will be released from her mental health facility before the holidays, but will remain in a conservatorship for some time.
Amanda Bynes To Be Released When?
Amanda Bynes has been in a Malibu rehab facility since September, getting treatment and psychological counseling, and it appears she’s finally much better. Doctors revealed plans to release Amanda to her mom next month, who will then take her to the family house and provide supervision. Looks like she’ll be home for Christmas! “Aside from the fact that the meds and therapy appear to be working, doctors are concerned that Amanda is going stir crazy,” TMZ reports. “She’s not allowed to go outside because paparazzi are hanging out at the facility and the staff is worried if Amanda is around other patients and pictures are taken, it will compromise the others.”
