Actress Amanda Bynes has allegedly been “placed under psychiatric hold”, America media has reported.
According to TMZ, the star was spotted walking near downtown Los Angeles early Sunday (March 19). She was seen “wandering around the streets naked”, a source claimed.
They said the 36-year-old waved a car down, told the driver she was coming down from a psychiatric episode and then was able to call 911 herself.

TMZ reported that the actress was taken to a police station and a mental health team decided that she needed to be “placed on a 5150 psych hold.”
A source close to Amanda claimed that she is currently in hospital and will be receiving care there for several days.

This latest episode comes one year after Amanda filed to end her conservatorship after nearly 10 years.
Amanda was placed under the order in late 2013, while she was undergoing court-ordered psychiatric care. This is after she reportedly starting a small fire in the driveway of a Thousand Oaks home.
Amanda’s mother Lynn was appointed as her conservator.
Bynes has a long history of erratic behaviour including a hit-and-run and a DUI incident before she was finally diagnosed with mental illness.

Her parents said in mid-2013 that she was paranoid and using drugs.
The troubled child star has since gotten sober, graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and is engaged to Paul Michael.
Given her numerous improvements, the Easy A actress filed a request to end the nearly nine-year conservatorship of her person and estate last year.

“She believes her condition is improved and protection of the court is no longer necessary,” her attorney, David A. Esquibias, told People.
A tentative ruling from Judge Roger L. Lund said the “court determines that the conservatorship is no longer required and that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship of the person no longer exist.”
The judge also added that: “The Capacity Declaration filed 02/22/22 concludes that conservatee has capacity to give informed consent to any form of medical treatment.”
Amanda appeared in hit movies including Easy A, She’s the Man, Hairspray, and What a Girl Wants and last year she signed up to become a manicurist after enrolling in cosmetology college.
