Amanda Bynes is Back in a Mental Health Facility After Having a Stress-Induced Relapse

Amanda Bynes is under the care of mental health professionals and addiction counselors again after suffering a relapse.

Sources connected to her family say that Amanda checked into an L.A.-area rehab facility in January, which was an end result of a backslide that we're told started months earlier. You'll recall, Amanda was on the cover of Paper magazine in November. 

Many say the pressure of being back in the public eye, plus auditioning in Hollywood again was just too much too soon for Amanda. 

Amanda is getting treatment for drug addiction along with mental health issues.

Amanda revealed in the Paper feature her 2006 role in "She's the Man" sent her into a spiral of severe depression. She also blamed a lot of her troubles and infamous moments on drugs. At the time of the article, she said she was 4 years sober.

Bynes was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago and has been in and out of mental health facilities multiple times in the past decade. During one of her worst episodes, Amanda set a fire in a neighbor's driveway and nearly burned her dog. 

She eventually got treatment and her condition improved greatly. She'd been studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in L.A. up until last year after it was reported that she said she wanted to get back into acting.

Amanda remains under a conservatorship started by her parents, but it's been run by a mental health professional since 2014.
