Amanda Bynes Placed on 5150 Psychiatric Hold After Wandering Naked (Report)
Actress Amanda Bynes has reportedly been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.
TMZ reports Bynes was spotted walking around naked in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday before she was taken to a police station.
According to the outlet, Bynes was able to flag down a car, telling the driver that she had just experienced a psychotic episode. She then called 911.
After arriving at the police station, a mental health team felt that it was best to put her on a psychiatric hold.
A source close to Bynes told TMZ that she’s been hospitalized and will be receiving treatment for a few days.
Though a typical psychiatric hold is 72 hours, they can be longer.
Her ex-fiancé Paul Michael told Page Six that she’s been “off her meds.”
In 2013, Amanda was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold for two weeks. After the hold, her parents were granted a temporary conservatorship.
A year later, she was put on another psych hold and her parents were granted another conservatorship, which lasted over eight years.
