Even while in extensive psychiatric care, Amanda Bynes seems to be making waves on Twitter and even Facebook!

Yesterday afternoon, a tweet from Bynes’s infamous Twitter account read “I love drake”. A similar post was made on Bynes’s Facebook account today. Neither one of them have been taken down as of 10pm on Sunday, September 1st.
However, Amanda Bynes’s lawyer confirmed that Bynes’s Twitter account was indeed hacked. Her lawyer stated:
“Amanda’s Twitter account has been hacked. She is at the UCLA Medical Center with no access to phones or computers.”
It may be quite awhile before you can read Tweets or Facebook posts from Bynes herself as a judge recently approved a request for Bynes to receive extended mental health treatment. The ruling will allow her doctors to keep her on psychiatric hold for up to another full year. However, it seems unlikely that she will stay the full year. Sources have stated that Amanda Bynes’s team is hoping to keep her at the UCLA treatment facility for another 60 days and then have her released to her mother’s home. The judge’s ruling of the extended mental health hold will only go into effect if doctors confirm that Bynes’s mental health is not stabilized or if the actress experiences set backs in her recovery.
I wish Amanda a speedy recovery! While I hope she doesn’t end up needing the extended mental health hold, I hope she does receive all of the treatment and helps she needs regardless of how long it takes!

On Thursday, August 15th, Amanda Bynes left her rehab facility in Ventura County and transferred to the psych unit at UCLA. The move was done at the request of Bynes’s mother who was recently granted temporary conservatorship over the troubled actress. Her conservatorship will allow her control over Bynes and force Bynes to stay in the psych ward for at least an extra 30 days. This ruling is rather uncommon as it is typically only allowed if a patient is “gravely disabled” and unable to care for them self.

It is being reported that Bynes’s mother wanted her transferred to UCLA because she believes that UCLA has the best psychiatric and mental health unit in the nation. While Bynes’s condition has reportedly improved significantly since she first entered treatment due in no small part to the schizophrenic and anti-psychotic drugs she’s been prescribed, it is rumored that her mental illness may be more serious than many originally suspected. A close source has also reported to Fox News that the actress may also be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder resulting from her struggle to accept and deal with the fame accumulated from her Nickelodeon child star days.

Bynes is expected to stay at UCLA for at least another two months to ensure that the the drugs are working properly and to give her body time to adjust to them. I wish Amanda a very speedy recovery and hope she can get to her usual funny and talented self soon!
