The release of the Amanda Bynes Drug Video shed light on her battles with addiction and sparked discussions.
Amanda Bynes, a former child star, went viral in a video where she opened up about her struggles with drug dependency.
Her acting career and personal life were ultimately ruined by addiction. Following her role in the movie She’s the Man, Bynes started using drugs to deal with depression.
Regrettably, her addiction worsened due to her intake of Adderall, a medication prescribed for ADHD. Amanda described how she chewed on Adderall tablets while filming the movie Hall Pass.
She believed it increased her euphoria, but it led to moments of confusion and difficulty focusing on her lines. Amanda withdrew from the film, making it her last project.

Faced with challenges in managing both her finances and legal matters, Amanda’s situation became precarious.
In 2012, Amanda was placed on a three-year probationary period after colliding with a police car in Los Angeles.
The troubles persisted in the following year as Amanda found herself immersed in a legal predicament when she was accused of discarding a marijuana bong from her apartment in New York City.
Regrettably, Amanda’s mental well-being continued to decline, reaching a distressing point when she intentionally ignited a fire on the driveway of her California home.
As a result of her legal and personal troubles, Amanda’s parents were granted conservatorship and given the responsibility for managing her affairs.
While Amanda’s mother handled her finances and legal matters, Amanda was arrested again in 2014 for being under the influence.

Amanda Bynes is now clean and has been for four years. Currently pursuing merchandise product development at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, Amanda Bynes is set to graduate in November.
Furthermore, she has plans to pursue another degree at the same institution starting in January. While Amanda aspires to establish her own fashion line in the future, her primary focus is on making a comeback in the acting industry.

This is not the first time Bynes has been placed on a 5150 hold, having been previously held in March when she walked around Los Angeles without clothing.
Following the distressing events, Amanda proceeded to signal for assistance by flagging down a passing motorist and promptly contacting emergency services through a call to 911.
After a span of three weeks, Amanda was released from a mental health facility located in Southern California and transitioned to receiving outpatient treatment as part of her ongoing care.
In April, prior to her mental health crisis and subsequent hospitalization, Amanda decided to terminate her engagement with Paul Michael, her former fiancé.
According to an insider who shared details with Entertainment Tonight, Amanda made the pivotal choice to end her relationship with Paul in January, recognizing it as a crucial step towards prioritizing her own well-being. She is currently dedicated to self-care and making notable strides towards positive progress in various aspects of her life.
