Los Angeles, June 22 : Actress Amanda Bynes' psychiatric hold will be extended beyond the mandatory 72-hour period.

The officers intercepted her after they responded to a call about a woman in distress, as per TMZ.  The 37-year-old star was taken to a police station where a medical unit was waiting to assess her and determine if she needed further treatment.  As per 'Female First UK', now, sources have said that her family is "concerned" for the star as mental health professionals try and get her stabilised on medication and that she could be facing a week in their safe hands.  Amanda was released from a conservatorship in March, 2022 after almost nine years, so her mother Lynn is no longer responsible for making sure her daughter takes her medication. 

In February, the 'She's The Man' star was found naked and alone in the early hours of the morning and was subsequently placed on psychiatric hold in a mental health ward but left the facility weeks later.
