A source close to Bynes told OK! magazine, “She wants to work on her illness.”

Reflecting on her self-admission into mental health facility, the source explained, “She checked in to an inpatient facility where she will have 24/7 care with experienced healthcare workers and be around other patients so she doesn’t feel so isolated.”

The source noted, “Clearly, living by herself wasn’t helping Amanda,” as she raised concerns of “going off her meds if she lives by herself”.

Bynes’ ex-fiancé, Paul Michael spoke to the outlet that the Nickelodeon alum did stop taking her medicines before her first psychiatric hold this year.

However, the source added, “Amanda recognises that what she needs is a structured environment while hoping things will improve.”
