Digital Desk: Hollywood actress Amanda Bynes is going through a difficult phase in her life. The California native was recently put under psychiatric hold after being found naked on the streets of Los Angeles. According to an eyewitness, Amanda, who suffers from bipolar disorder, waved down a car and told the driver that she was having a psychiatric episode.

The ‘ What I Like About You’ star then dialed 911 for assistance after realizing she was naked in the middle of a street near downtown LA. The 36-year-old actress was then taken to a local police station, where it was decided that she required a psychiatric hold called the 5150 hold. According to a recent report, Amanda had been off her medications for quite some time.

According to TMZ, Amanda Bynes is presently hospitalized and will "likely continue to receive care for several days." It was also claimed that Amanda was not injured during the ordeal, and sources stated that given the circumstances, it could have been much worse. The psychiatric hold is typically for 72 hours, but it can be extended depending on the circumstances. According to reports, Amanda was scheduled to attend '90s Con in Connecticut with her former 'All That' co-stars, but the plans were scrapped due to an undisclosed illness.

Another source revealed that Amanda has not been in touch with her family recently. Speaking openly about Amanda's health, her former fiancé Paul Michael revealed to another magazine that the actress had stopped taking her medicine and was now acting strangely. The two were last photographed in December 2022. Amanda's psychiatric episode coincides with the one-year anniversary of her conservatorship being ended.

Amanda Bynes' mother took over the guardianship in 2013 when she began experiencing mental health issues. She was also diagnosed with the bipolar illness at the same time.
