Last week, Amanda Bynes was placed on 5150 psychiatric hold after exhibiting increasingly worrisome behavior in public and online.
The trouble began when Bynes was arrested for DUI on September 29. Her parents finally intervened after Amanda accused her father of sexual abuse on Twitter. (She later retracted her story.)
Bynes is now receiving the treatment and supervision she so obviously needed, but sources close to the former child star say she’s more miserable than ever before.
“Amanda is having a tough time adjusting to being in treatment again,” says one insider. “However, the facility she is in is truly first class and will be a calming environment for her.”
Apparently, part of the problem is that Amanda doesn’t see any need for treatment and believes she was well on her way to getting better at the time she was admitted to the psychiatric care center against her will.
“In a rare moment of clarity before Amanda became a patient at the mental health facility in Pasadena, she actually deleted the posts on Twitter accusing her father of sexually abusing her,” the source says.
Responding to rumors that the posts were deleted by Amanda’s parents the insider said, “No one but Amanda did it. Her parents don’t know her password.”
Under the terms of her psychiatric hold, Amanda could leave treatment as early as today. However, the 5150 order could also be extended up to 14 days.
