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.
