Amanda Bynes' Mental Health Update
It was reported that Bynes went on a tour of FIDM last December and enrolled earlier this month.
After a hectic year of psychiatric help, allegedly throwing a bong out of her window and calling people "ugly" via Twitter, the 27-year-old was released from a psychiatric hold to the care of her parents in December 2013. She was recently seen walking a dog with her parents and then was seen going for a walk by herself. The Hairspray star also went to Disneyland with her parents in December and was photographed on one of the rides about a week after leaving psychiatric hold.
During that time, Bynes' attorney said she was "doing very well and reestablishing a close and loving relationship with her family."
In a September 2012 interview, Bynes told People she wanted to do a fashion line. The actress announced that she would be retiring from acting via Twitter in June 2010. She hasn't posted on Twitter since July 2013.
