Amanda Bynes 'Gravely Disabled': Doctors Issue Emergency Conservatorship [REPORT]
Amanda Bynes has just been placed on an extended, 30-day psychiatric hold, TMZ reported on Friday morning.
Doctors at the psychiatric hospital where Bynes has been held for the last two week determined she was not well enough to leave the hospital to attend today's court hearing -- where her parents are trying to win a temporary conservatorship.
The doctors spoke with the judge, who extended Bynes' psych hold for 30 days. According to the law (via TMZ), doctors can only get such an order if the patient is "gravely disabled as a result of a mental disorder."

Two weeks ago, the troubled actress was put on the involuntary psychiatric hold after she allegedly set a stranger's driveway on fire. At the time, Bynes' parents Rick, 68, and Lynne Bynes, 66, filed an application for conservatorship over their daughter.
In the filed legal documents, Bynes' parents revealed why they were seeking the conservatorship. According to TMZ, who obtained the documents, her parents stress Bynes' disconnect from reality.
"We are deeply concerned that Amanda poses a substantial risk to herself, to others and to property based on recent events in her life," they stated in the declaration.

The document went on to say, "She talks incessantly about cosmetic surgeries that she wants completed. She also encourages her mother to have plastic surgeries. We are concerned that the surgeries she wants to have are dangerous and detrimental to her health."
The papers also outlined Amanda's "extremely paranoid" behavior. "She would cover smoke alarms with towels, tape windows shut, and cover her car's dashboard with cardboard and tape" because she claimed that "cameras were watching her from inside these places.
Her worried parents also touched upon her financial woes and claimed she had written "approximately $63,000 in checks...between the period of May 3, 2013 and July 19, 2013."
"We are informed and believe that a substantial amount of money is being used to pay for marijuana and other illegal substances, and possible for plastic surgery," the declaration added.
