Amanda Bynes placed on psychiatric hold
Toronto Sun ^ | July 23, 2013

Troubled actress Amanda Bynes has been placed on an emergency psychiatric hold following an incident in Thousand Oaks, California on Monday.

Police were called to the neighbourhood after the Easy A star allegedly tried to start a fire in a resident's driveway, where she was accused of trespassing.

She was questioned over the small blaze and cops decided to take her into custody to undergo an involuntary mental evaluation, also known as a 5150 hold, reports TMZ.com.

Captain Don Aguilar of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department tells the New York Daily News: "Deputies investigated the incident and determined that (Bynes) met the criteria of 5150 (California Welfare & Institutions Code).

"She was detained and taken for a mental health evaluation."

Patients held on a 5150 order can only be kept under surveillance for up to 72 hours.

Byne's latest detainment occurred just a day after she was spoken to by police officers after allegedly turning up drunk outside an old people's home in Thousand Oaks on Sunday.

The two incidents are the latest in a string of woes for the actress - she is facing a charge of driving under the influence after allegedly crashing her car into a police vehicle last year, and a further accusation of driving on a suspended licence several months later. She is also accused of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and possessing marijuana after reportedly throwing a bong out of her apartment window during a police raid in May.

It may be funny to me now, but it sure was scary to me back then.

Interrogative: Who or what is an Amanda Bynes? Why should I care?

Another Hollyweird bimbo with substance and alcohol problems that's a total psychological mess? Sounds like a bad rerun to me. I'll pass.

Google Dan Schneider and the Nick girls. It makes you wonder.

“The Amanda show.” My daughter, and therefore I, watched it when she was a preteen. To be honest I could sense something was a little “off” even then. Just chalked it up to her maybe being hyper by nature or that perhaps that’s what the director’s wanted. She could very well be schizophrenic, poor girl:(

You may be right. Coke or bath salts.

She also played in Sidney White, a modern take on Snow White, set on a college campus. The dwarfs in this version were nerds. It was cute, and so was she.

I watched The Amanda Show with my sons. The spoof on Harry Potter was hysterical.

She reminds me of a manic-depressive (now called bipolar) who is more manic than depressive. The most difficult feature of this is that they have no insight. They don't think their sick. It is a true psychosis. The more manic they become the more bizarre they are. Especially as they sleep little in this stage. Delusions of grandeur are also a key feature. It could be schizophrenia. Sad really.

I remember her on “What I Like About You”. I can’t believe she has fallen so far.

I guess it has changed since the days of Kurt Russell & the lovely late Annette Funicello.
