Amanda Bynes to stay at mental health facility for ‘foreseeable future’

The report suggests the actor “likes being at this facility” because she’s surrounded by staff and other patients after feeling too isolated at the apartment in Los Angeles where she lives by herself.

Amanda Bynes will reportedly be staying at a mental health facility in California for the “foreseeable future” because she has found a centre she likes and wants to continue working on her issues.

The High School Musical star, 37, checked into a clinic in Orange County, California just days after being released to outpatient care following a stint in a different centre after being placed on a 5,150 hold for the second time this year and now, it has been reported that the actor is happy with her treatment and plans to continue working on her issues.

A source told a website that Bynes is “planning on staying at the centre for the foreseeable future as she continues working on herself and her mental health.” The website also reported that Bynes has graduated to the centre’s minimal supervision group, which allows her to leave the facility on her own at certain times so she can go shopping or take a walk.

The report suggests the actor “likes being at this facility” because she’s surrounded by staff and other patients after feeling too isolated at the apartment in Los Angeles where she lives by herself. Bynes was believed to have initially checked into the facility because she felt she needed more help than the outpatient treatment was providing and wanted to be in a more “therapeutic place” rather than living alone.

A 5,150 psychiatric hold is designed to protect those with mental health disorders, who could be considered a danger to themselves or others and allows them to be taken into care involuntarily to undergo psychiatric assessment and crisis intervention, for a period of up to 72 hours. Bynes has suffered mental health issues in the past and previously spent nine years under a conservatorship,  which was controlled by her mother Lynn.
