Amanda Bynes is going through a difficult time. The actress has had to be temporarily held in a psychiatric center after being found wandering the streets of Los Angeles (USA) naked and alone, presumably after suffering a psychotic break.
As reported by the TMZ portal, the actress was seen walking aimlessly through the streets of a rather troubled area of the city on Sunday morning, without a single piece of clothing on her body. It was she herself who signaled to a car to stop and told her driver that she was ending what she defined as a "psychotic episode." It was also she herself who called the emergency services, with the help of the driver, who offered to help her.
Once the police arrived there, the protagonist of Ella es el chico was transferred to the police station, where a specialized team determined that she should be placed in a 51/50 hold - the number of the Section of the Welfare and Institutions Code of the Law of the State of California, which allows a person who is suffering from a mental health crisis to be involuntarily detained for 72 hours in a psychiatric hospital to find out if he represents a danger to others.
According to the sources consulted by the aforementioned portal, the actress was completely unharmed, something surprising for the security forces, given where and the state in which she was found.
At the moment, the one who was Hollywood's favorite young actress is hospitalized, and will continue like this for the next few days, possibly extending her admission beyond the recommended 72 hours.
This episode marks the actress's first public relapse into her illness since she was freed from her legal guardianship, which her mother managed for nine years, who took charge of her affairs in 2013, when she suffered a public psychotic break and had problems with substance abuse. That year the actress had to be arrested and hospitalized when she tried to burn the house of an old woman, a neighbor of her parents.
During this scandalous admission, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder, the most serious in terms of manic symptoms, since the episodes can last seven days or more, often requiring hospitalization.
The actress seemed more focused since she took charge of her affairs. With a life away from the spotlight and in love with her partner, Paul Michael, Bynes planned to become a nail technician and even return to the world of art, even making her first steps in music with Diamonds, which she recorded last May with the rapper Californian Precise.
