Bynes has had a rough few months: in March, she was placed on a 5150 hold after walking through Los Angeles without any clothing on, leading her to call 911 herself. Months later, she contacted the police again and was brought in for a psychological evaluation.

Despite the ups and downs, Bynes is trying to get her life back in order.

"Amanda was doing better recently and trying her best to take care of herself. She has been making an effort to go to AA meetings, trying to hang out with sober people, and she looked good. The only problem is she is inconsistent about taking her medication, which causes issues," the source said earlier this year.

"When Amanda was admitted to a mental facility a few months ago, things weren’t going as well for her. She was very distressed, concerned about her past and reputation, surrounding herself with the wrong people who were bad influences, and not taking her medication," the source continued. "She is a great girl who means well and wants to get better."
