Stories like that bother me. These people claim to be worried friends and say things like "she desperately needs help". Do they really think trashing her in the press and revealing personal problems/demons is the way to help her?

I don't mean to generalize, but if Amanda Bynes is, indeed, schizophrenic, this is the end of her time in public life. There really isn't any coming back from it, certainly she can live a much more functional, happy life, but any ideas of her having a career and being a truly 'normal' person are out of the question.

I sincerely hope she is institutionalized for a very long time, receives the medical care she needs and that her parents are granted a conservatorship over her permanently so that she can be taken care of.

Last I read they were saying she had "schizophrenic tendencies". I wonder if it will end up being full-blown schizophrenia or not. For a while I was fairly convinced she was manic depressive. I know many people that suffer from that disease, including one in my immediate family, and some of her behavior seemed familiar to me (though no one I know has been at those extremes).

I don't see manic depression at all with Bynes. I was actually wondering if she didn't have dissociative identity disorder because her behaviour seemed so disturbed, none of the highs and lows seen in manic depression or bipolar disorder.

Yeah you probably know more than I do. I haven't really been following her actions super closely, at least from a medical standpoint. I just noticed a couple of things with her that reminded me of someone I know who has suffered from manic depression (though Bynes' seems much more extreme).

I'm heartbroken. She was doing so well.

This is so devastating to me I hope she's ok still ;-( ;-( ;-(

Some of Amanda's most recent tweets are about her getting married and getting a restraining order against her dad:

She's been tweeting about this stuff the last few hours or so. I really hope she's okay .

What's to hope for at this point? Of course she is not okay. She has not been okay for years. She needs a long stay in drug rehab and a psychiatric hospital.

Yeah, I worded that wrong. I WANT her to be okay of course, I'm just wondering how she is compared to last year. I know what you mean.
