Amanda Bynes reportedly remains in a mental hospital almost three weeks after a psychotic episode. News reports showed that Amanda Bynes was found naked on the streets after suffering a mental episode. However, the Sydney White star flagged down a car and got help. Read on for more details.
Amanda Bynes Still in Mental Hospital
According to emerging news reports, Amanda Bynes’ mental hospital stay is ongoing. It’s been nearly three weeks since the She’s The Man actress was first admitted to a mental health hospital.
Although her release date is still undetermined, her family and friends are working on a plan to help her. Sources close to the actress say both Amanda and the medical staff have been taking her stay week by week.
They told TMZ she’s not being forced to remain at the facility. However, Amanda doesn’t quite feel ready to leave yet. Nevertheless, she’ll enroll in an outpatient mental health treatment program once she is.
Amanda’s 5150 hold was recently extended an additional week as she was “seriously focusing on getting better.”
The sources disclosed that Amanda can make her own medical decisions as she is no longer under a conservatorship. The Hair Spray star ended her conservatorship in 2022 after nine years.
In the meantime, Amanda has worked with the medical staff to ensure she’s supported when she gets out. Accordingly, they are working on an outpatient program to keep her on track, meeting with doctors and specialists.

Amanda Bynes Likely Wandered For Days
The outlet also reports that Amanda may have been living “on the streets for days” before she called the police on herself.
Amanda’s car was towed to Long Beach, California, more than 40 miles from her home, on March 15. The car popped up 15 miles from where cops eventually found her in downtown Los Angeles.
The outlet’s sources believe she likely hitchhiked or took public transportation from Long Beach. The Easy A actress was spotted in Hollywood on March 18, appearing mentally affected but still clothed.
Amanda Bynes was eventually found naked on March 19, wandering the streets near Downtown Los Angeles. She then waved a car down for help and called 911.
Although Amanda Bynes’ mental hospital stay continues, it seems she is getting better by the day. Thankfully, she also appears to have the required support and help to recover fully.
