Though Amanda Bynes is still receiving treatment for her mental illness (as she’s been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder,) a judge has deemed her mentally capable of understanding the nature of the criminal charges she faces for her DUI, so it will now go forward. However, it is highly unlikely the case will go before a jury. Instead, it will probably just end up as a plea bargain. As previously reported, Amanda will be released from her mental health facility before the holidays, but will remain in a conservatorship for some time.
Amanda Bynes’ Condition Officially Diagnosed
She was on her worst behaviour, word to Drizzy, and now doctors know why. Amanda Bynes has officially been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. “She does indeed have schizophrenia and bipolar disorder,” source close to her family confirmed. “It was what Amanda’s parents, Rick and Lynn, had suspected all along. Nevertheless, it was difficult to process for Amanda’s parents. The bright side is that Amanda can lead a long, normal life, as long as she takes her medication. Doctors at the treatment facility are still working to get Amanda therapeutic meds and she’s responding to the medications she is being given to treat her dual diagnosis.” So glad to hear she’s going to be okay!
