Anyone getting long-term mental health care will likely have ups and downs and significant setbacks.
Amanda Bynes was having trouble with her mental health in June. She knew she needed help, so she went and found it.
Recently, she has been getting care outside of a hospital. But that isn’t always enough.
She has gone to a place where she can stay for a while. She knows this is what she needs.
Amanda Bynes has been a well-liked actress for a long time, even after she left show business.
Her fights with mental illness have been in the news for years. Her funny tweets from over a decade ago wouldn’t have happened if she’d been in a better mood.
Amanda has come a long way in the past few years. Her guardianship ended, she moved out on her own, and it’s good to see that her mental health is getting better.
In this 2020 Instagram post, Amanda Bynes stands against a wall while wearing a yellow plaid top. After everything she has been through, her fans love hearing these little bits of news. But there have been setbacks, as seen on Instagram. She realized she was having a mental health crisis earlier this year. She was outside and naked when she called for help.
Since then, Amanda has continued to get better.
In June, she had another problem, though it wasn’t as bad as the last one. She tried to get help, and she got it.
Now, TMZ says that Amanda is going back to inpatient mental health treatment on her own.
In July, she moved into the facility in Orange County.
Why? As with anyone who has chosen to stay in a hospital for care, she needed a more healing environment than she could get from outpatient care while living at home.

It’s not just about the doctors and therapists, even though they are important.
Amanda can have social interactions with other patients at the facility in Orange County.
It’s easier for her to do that than to be on her own. Not all mental illnesses are the same. What could be a nightmare for some people is just what Amanda needs to get better.
She is now living with a family and getting care around the clock.
Then there are activities and therapy every day. Some of these things could help her learn new ways to deal with problems and other things after she leaves this center.
She is sick mentally. Nothing about that changes the fact that she is a person with rights.
We’re so happy that she keeps making good decisions for herself. Amanda, everyone is pulling for you to do well.
