AMANDA BYNES PSYCH TREATMENT COULD GO TO 2015
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS

Here's how bad off Amanda Bynes is ... it looks like she could be in a mental health facility for a year and a half.

Amanda's lawyer was in a NYC court today ... in connection with the case where Amanda allegedly threw a bong out the window of her apartment.

Her lawyer, Gerald Shargel, asked for a postponement for up to 18 months while she got psychiatric treatment.

Sources tell TMZ ... the likelihood is ... the case will be plea bargained ... there are major weaknesses in the prosecution's case. Translation -- the case could possibly be dropped altogether.

Wow, so sad. My heart breaks for her. I'm just glad she's getting the help she needs.

I know me too.

Amanda Bynes' Mom Drops Bid for CONSERVATORSHIP

Exclusive Details

Amanda Bynes' mom is dropping her bid to get a permanent conservatorship, but not because she's turning her back on her very ill daughter ... it's because she already has the ammo she needs to protect her.

Amanda's mom was slated to go to court Monday to make the temporary conservatorship permanent. But here's the deal. Amanda is currently on an LPS hold -- translation, doctors have a tighter rein on Amanda than her mother would have with a conservatorship.

And there's a twist. Doctors have given Amanda's mom the power to make medical and financial decisions for her daughter under the LPS hold.

The mom has already exercised her power by getting Amanda admitted long term to UCLA Medical Center.

Bottom line. There's no need for a conservatorship anymore, so she's withdrawn her petition.

And finally, and sadly, we're told there has been no real improvement in Amanda's condition.

I don't know much about her mom, I hope she doesn't take advantage of having access to Amanda's money. That certainly wouldn't help her mental state.

I really hope she can overcome this.

Seems like her mom isn't after the money, she dropped the bid when she knew Amanda would be getting long term care.

I feel so badly for her, but I am glad she is getting help. It's sad that it took as long as it did while the world was just watching her go off the rails.

 

[lostnexposed]

Wow...so sad! I really thought it was all an act at first...but then her antics just got crazier and crazier. I'm glad she's getting the help she needs now...and I hope the media leaves her alone.

 

[myown]

wow 1.5 years is a very long time.
she should sell her home.... (as my first thought.... saving that money)

poor girl

This is so heartbreaking.

Every time I see her name, I'm reminded of Frances Farmer. :cry:

I feel so badly for her, but I am glad she is getting help. It's sad that it took as long as it did while the world was just watching her go off the rails.

And cheering her on. There are some really disgusting people in this world.

Ugh!

 

[Sassys]

Wow, this is really sad. I too thought she was faking it. I don't know if she owns a home in LA, but that apartment she had here in NYC was a rental. Since no one was hurt by her throwing a bong out the window, they should indeed drop the case. I just hope her money is safe, because she did work hard for it.

 

[Sternchen]

Oh man..

 

[Swanky]

I never thought this was an act. There were glaring differences in her shenanigans and say, Lindsay's.
I'm SO glad she's finally getting help. I wish mental problems and disorders weren't so shameful. There's a real problem with a lot of people, families and the patients themselves seem so embarrassed still. . . such a stigma still exists. Such a pity
