• Amanda Bynes Psychiatric Hold Has Been Extended as She Is Deemed 'Too Ill' to Care for Herself

    Amanda Bynes was almost a free woman yesterday after being held on an involuntary commitment for the last 16 days. Instead of allowing Bynes to leave, her doctors instead secured a 30-day extension to that commitment from a judge familiar with the case. Doctors apparently were able to prove that Bynes is "very ill" and unable to appropriately care for herself in the real world, something that easily led to an extension of her facility stay.
