Amanda Bynes
Signs of Schizophrenia
Exclusive
Amanda Bynes is exhibiting signs of schizophrenia … and medical professionals and others WILL seek a 2-week extension on her 5150 psychiatric hold so doctors can properly diagnose her … sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.
We’re told … ever since Amanda was taken into custody Monday night — after she lit a fire on an elderly woman’s driveway in Thousand Oaks, CA — people close to Bynes are convinced she’s suffering from mental illness, specifically schizophrenia.
Sources tell us … Amanda’s parents will now ask a judge to put the 27-year-old in a conservatorship, a la Britney Spears, because they believe she is unable to care for herself and could be a danger to others.
Amanda’s parents have wanted to take action for the past couple of months — but they didn’t have the goods because Amanda’s conduct was not so over the line that a judge would take away her freedom.
Now, after the driveway fire incident … the circumstances may have changed enough to convince a judge Amanda needs help and supervision.
