Amanda Bynes Doctors Get Emergency Extended Hold She's 'Gravely Disabled'
Amanda Bynes has just been placed on an extended, 30-day psychiatric hold ... and the people responsible for making that happen were not her parents -- they were her doctors ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us ... doctors at the psychiatric hospital where Amanda has been held for the last 2 weeks determined she was not well enough to leave the hospital to attend today's hearing -- where her parents are trying to win a temporary conservatorship.
We're told doctors went to a judge who traveled to the hospital to conduct an emergency hearing. The judge granted the doctors' request, and extended Amanda's psych hold for 30 days.
According to the law, doctors can only get such an order if the patient is "gravely disabled as a result of a mental disorder."
Amanda's parents will still pursue the temporary conservatorship, we've learned, because it will stay in effect until Sept. 30th. And the conservatorship would allow her parents to control Amanda's finances.

It's a shame it took this long to take it seriously. I'll admit that I, for one, thought she was just acting out. It would've been nice if those close to her would've caught it sooner.
Yup.
And I do think that Britney is relevant in the conversation - think twice before assuming everyone's a good parent, esp. those who are totally OK with their kid working long hours in seedy Hollywood (like Amanda). There is a reason why she cut them off. Is it really that big of a coincidence that a lot of former child stars end up with mental disorders? IMO most of the young stars come from broken homes and their parents more or less sell their children for money/fame. Take the Hayden P. rumors as another example.
What Hayden P rumours?
I hope Amanda continues to get the help that she needs. She had gone way out of control, hopefully this is the start of her recovery.
