Her parents have let her down
Yes! When I heard her Mom say she wasn't mentally ill, and that all the drama was due to marijuana I shuddered. If Amanda's family can't accept she is sick, what hope is there that she will get better?

I don't agree with the statement that her mother is "of an era where mental illness had such a negative stigma". I am of that same era, and that statement is true of my parent's generation, not mine. This is totally her mother's opinion, which has had a tragic effect on her daughter's life.
It is so unfortunate...hopefully this incident will force her parents to acknowledge her problem and they will get her the help she needs going forward.

That's ok, I believe it's true, it's my opinion and I believe I'm in an era of it as well and it's only getting slightly better and very slowly so.

Exclusive Details
The parents of Amanda Bynes are in the dark about their daughter's arrestand have no idea where she is or what she's been doing since her conservatorship ended.
Bynes' father Rick said he and his wife learned about Amanda's arrest from the media ... they weren't the ones who bailed her out. Rick repeatedly said, "We we don't know," when asked about Amanda.
It's interesting … Rick said he thought his daughter might be in New York, but TMZ has learned she's staying in the Hollywood area right now.
As TMZ first reported, Amanda moved out of her parents' house once the conservatorship ended earlier this month … but many people close to Amanda feel it was a terrible mistake not to extend it.
We're told Amanda is smoking a lot of weed and is off her anti-psychotic meds for Schizophrenia and bipolarity.
We're also told she was busted for DUI because she was under the influence of Adderall.

Amanda Bynes Driving Under the Influence of ADDERALL Desperate Situation
9/30/2014 1:00 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE
Amanda Bynes was under the influence of Adderall when she was arrested for DUI ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... but her problems go much deeper than a criminal case.
We've learned the Adderall was prescribed by a doctor and she had taken the drug before getting stopped in Van Nuys Sunday and failing multiple field sobriety tests. She was arrested for DUI.
Adderall is a stimulant and we're told Amanda was "out of it" when she was stopped.
Fact is ... it's no defense to DUI that the drug in question was prescribed -- it's still operating a vehicle while impaired. But Amanda now faces a probation violation -- she's on probation for reckless driving -- and the fact that the drug was prescribed may help her there.
The deeper problem is this ... As TMZ first reported, Amanda has moved out of her parents house and is now living in Orange County. We're told she's smoking a lot of weed and is off her anti-psychotic meds for Schizophrenia and bipolarity.
Amanda's conservatorship ended earlier this month and we're told her parents saw no need to extend it because they believe she's better now, but everyone else in her life feels it was a horrible mistake to let the conservatorship lapse and they fear for Amanda.

Amanda Bynes ARRESTED FOR Driving Under Influence of STIMULANT Weed Problem Resurfaces
9/29/2014 12:02 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE
Amanda Bynes was arrested in Los Angeles Sunday after cops determined she was driving under the influence ... and our law enforcement sources say she was on a STIMULANT ... but we're told she has also developed a serious weed problem ... again.
Here's what we know -- Bynes was driving a Mercedes in the San Fernando Valley when she stopped in the middle of an intersection on Van Nuys Blvd.
A CHP officer spotted her and determined she was under the influence. She was taken to the LAPD Van Nuys division where a drug recognition officer determined she was under the influence of a stimulant. Toxicology tests are being performed now to determine the exact drug or drugs.
According to the incident report ... Amanda had a "disheveled" appearance.
Amanda was then booked for DUI. She posted $15,000 bail.
Amanda has had trouble with mental problems for years now. Her parents had a conservatorship which ended earlier this month and as one source says, "Things started going haywire."
We're told Amanda has moved out of her parents home and is now living in an Orange County apartment. We're told she has been smoking weed for weeks and things are bad again.
The arrest triggers a legal problem. Amanda is on probation for a reckless driving conviction last February.

Even if her parents believed she was mentally ill, how are they supposed to get her to take her meds?
She could have killed someone.
She could have killed someone.
So sad. If she really does have schizophrenia then it's unlikely anyone can keep her on her meds. I haven't done any research in quite awhile, but I know when lithium was the only option that people felt like they were just kind of being a zombie through life. It's either take your meds and not enjoy life, or not take your meds and be paranoid and delusional. It seems like such a lose/lose disorder. Maybe her parents need to look into someone else being a caregiver for her. Like if she has any close friends still or anything. Maybe they can convince her she needs to be on meds to be stable.
I really thought she turned her life around by going to school and she was looking healthier like her old self again.
Her parents took her off her meds citing that she has no mental illness 
. Her parent's should've requested an extension on her conservatorship.
They failed her IMO.
Her mom playing doctor was the beginning of this. All just my opinion of course.
