Back in a psychiatric hospital


https://www.etonline.com/amanda-bynes-hospitalized-on-psychiatric-hold-after-roaming-los-angeles-naked-report-201231

Placed on a psychiatric hold after roaming the streets naked. I thought she was doing better but I guess not.

That's sad. I hope she gets the help she needs.

She probably has to stay on her meds to stay out of trouble. The article below states that she started smoking marijuana at age 16 and she then started abusing adderall. Marijuana can mess with the minds of many people. I've posted links below showing the risks of marijuana.

adderall is a million times more fucked than weed. it is basically methamphetamine

reply

Poor young woman. Let's hope the assistance really helps.

reply

So sad it happened to her again. I thought she was doing fine 3 years ago.

reply

Media reports stated she had regained her lucidity mental wise to some extent and was studying cosmetology. I recall how popular she was years ago. I really want to see"What A Girl Wants". That is sad she had a relapse.

reply

Something really, really bad happened to her, and she's obviously not going to be able to recover from it.

reply

Exactly this. But all people see is her behaviour and not what caused it. I can't imagine how hard it must be to deal for her to deal with her latest episode and also to have it public knowledge.

Sad indictment on the world that she was wandering naked and psychotic for days, no one gave a shit and it was her that had to call the cops on herself in the end. Thankfully it seems no one recorded footage of her in that extreme state.

But hey mental health stuff is all a big laugh to the masses.

reply

Mental health is no joke. It's the reason why our world is completely falling apart.

School shootings=mental health problems

Transing kids=mental health problems

Politicians=mental health problems

Movie Studios pushing an agenda over and over again and demanding that we accept it=mental health problems

Something has gone really wrong the world over and it all has to do with mental health.

reply

Not all serious mental illness is a result of "something bad" happening to a person, some definitely have a genetic component, for instance bipolar disorder can run in families. Schizophrenia less so, but nobody knows if it's a result of genetics, negative experiences, or something else, but it's definitely not *just* negative experiences.

In order for the conservatorship to legally valid, she would have to have a form of mental illness that is long-term and disabling, most conserved adults have a form of dementia, schizophrenia, if not developmental delay or a severe brain injury. Because being a fucked-up former child star with all sorts of bad things in their past may screw a person up forever, but not to the point of needing conservatorship.

Drugs

Probably off her meds.

I heard teh police just took her back into custody a few days ago. Is she now considered dangerous?
