Amanda Bynes spotted walking around n-ked on streets
Actress Amanda Bynes has been placed on a psychiatric hold after being found walking naked in the streets of Los Angeles.
According to eyewitness reports, Amanda, who has bipolar disorder, flagged down a car and told the driver she was going through a psychiatric episode.
She then called 911 after realizing she was naked in the middle of the street.
The 36-year-old actress was taken to a nearby police station, where it was decided that she needed to be placed on a psychiatric hold, also known as a 5150 hold.
It was reported that Amanda was off her medication for some time.

TMZ reported that Amanda is currently hospitalized and sources say she is “likely to continue to receive care for several days.”
The psychiatric hold usually lasts for 72 hours, but it can be extended as per the situation.
Amanda was supposed to attend the ’90s Con in Connecticut with her former ‘All That’ co-stars, but the plan was canceled due to an undisclosed illness.
A source revealed that Amanda has not been in touch with her family recently.
Her ex-fiancé, Paul Michael, told another publication that the actress was off her medication, adding that she is wild.
The two were last seen together in December 2022.
Amanda’s mother took over her conservatorship in 2013 when Amanda started having problems with her mental health.
She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the same time.
Amanda’s psychiatric episode comes close to the first anniversary of her conservatorship being terminated.
According to a source, “Amanda has struggled with her mental health for years, and it’s a constant battle for her.”
It was also reported that Amanda was not hurt during the ordeal, and sources shared that it could have been much worse given the area she was found in.
The 5150 hold is a temporary involuntary hospitalization of individuals who present a danger to themselves or others due to a mental health disorder.
The duration of the hold is usually 72 hours, but it can be extended to 14 days if the patient is deemed a danger to themselves or others.
