After over a year of bizarre and increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior, Amanda Bynes has finally been diagnosed with not one, but two mental illnesses. The starlet is reportedly battling both bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia.
Amanda Bynes has had so many issues lately that it's hard to remember where her mental problems end and her legal troubles begin. The erstwhile Nickelodeon starlet is still dealing with a DUI case from April 2012, and her lawyer, Rich Hutton, has deemed her unfit to stand trial.
Amanda Bynes is currently under a 5150 hold to deal with mental health issues likely to be schizophrenia, but before she was hospitalized, she was supposedly dealing with something else: hiding her possible bisexuality.

Good news for Amanda Bynes: The troubled starlet's psych hold is the best thing that's happened to her in a while, because the 24/7 monitoring and pill cocktails by her doctors have (knock on wood) gradually returned her to normal. But as usual, there's a bit of a catch.

But alas, their request was denied. At least for the time being.
Amanda Bynes' 72-hour 5150 psychiatric hold just got extended by another two weeks, allowing her parents (and probably her poor pooch) to breathe a sigh of relief.
