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.

I should have, that’s true. It’s obvious that you come from a different area, if I’d just looked at the difference in capitalization!!!

I hope she gets her life together. I’ve never seen her in anything, but she is only 27 and clearly needs help. It’s sad to see anybody this young self destruct.

It sounds like this poor girl is coming down with schizophrenia.

Or more likely has taken a lot of drugs.

How come Lindsey Lohan is never placed on psychiatric hold?

I guess the threshold is pretty high. Lohan was doing the typical delinquent stuff, drugs, shoplifting, car accidents. Jail is probably the place for her.

Amanda Bynes is showing signs of actual insanity. She started a fire on her driveway, got gasoline on her dog and fire on her pants while doing it. Keeps waxing on about how ugly she thinks she and everyone else is.

Actually, come to think of it, I always used to confuse Amanda Bynes with her fellow “former child star on Nickelodeon” alumni Michelle Trachtenberg. They’re close in age and I used to watch them in the mids 90s. Similar looks, too:

But I googled Trachtenberg and she seems to be doing perfectly fine, unlike train wreaks Bynes and Lohan. (all age 27, all former child stars. Lohan was a Disney gal though)

I’m guessing child stars do so bad cause they are exposed to drugs and booze at a young age.

“But I googled Trachtenberg and she seems to be doing perfectly fine,”

Not so much her career, Lohan and Bynes have starred in movies, however horrible they were.

She was clearly mentally ill from the start. Schizophrenia doesn’t show itself till around 19 or so.
