Creative people are very vulnerable to the onslaught of depression. Career setbacks have caused many stars to lose themselves and seek solace in addictions. It was because of the creative crisis that Amanda Bynes ended up in a psychiatric hospital. The comedian, whose career has been on the rise since childhood, has become unrecognizable either in appearance or in manners. The article will tell about the reason for such a tragic turn in the life of a star.

Daddy's girl

Amanda Bynes was born in California. The future talented comedian was born in April 1986. The girl's family had nothing to do with cinema. Amanda's mother, Lynn, worked as an office manager, and her father, Rick Bynes, excelled in dentistry, but always admired theater and comedy. Rick tried to instill his hobby in the children, of whom there were three in the family. And they adoptedfather's hobby, but it was Amanda Bynes who showed real talent. She began performing on the stage of comedy clubs from the age of seven, and by the age of ten, even hardened comedians could not do without a girl in a duet.

Also, at the age of 10, Amanda first flashed on the screen. The rising star appeared in the television series "Stuff and Things" and delighted even picky critics, who are incredibly difficult to surprise. They compared Bynes with the comedic legends of the past and hurried to prophesy her a bright future. Predictions began to turn into reality pretty soon. Three years later, Amanda practically became the face of the children's television channel Nickelodeon, where she hosted her own show at the age of thirteen. Then no one could have imagined that by the age of thirty, Amanda Bynes in a psychiatric hospital, and not on the screen, would attract the attention of the paparazzi.

The girl is ripe

Career start in childhood became the basis for the further creative realization of Amanda Bynes. The personal life of the young actress, as she grew up, interested the fans more and more. Bynes' first "fiance" was the now popular rapper Drake. They met on the Amanda show, however, this romance could not be called serious, because both of its characters were 13 years old.

The first real relationship for the heroine of our article began with a partner in the TV series "Why I love you" Nick Zahn. The boyfriend of the actress was 7 years older than her. The relationship was not long-term - Amanda and Nick met since 2003, and a year later they parted.

Meanwhile, cutie Bynes began to get one lead role after another. She became a regular in the first plan of youth comedies. "What a Girl Wants", "She's a Man", "Love on an Island" - the directors regularly offered the actress to play the main character. In the projects where Amanda took part, she found not only fame, but also a new love. On the set of the picture "Sydney White" Bynes met actor Matt Long, who soon became the girl's boyfriend. Subsequently, Amanda charmed hip-hoper Kid Cudi and baseball player Doug Reinhardt.

Alas, none of the comedy star's relationships lasted long enough. This may also have been the reason why Amanda Bynes is committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Last appearance on screen

The last film in which Bynes showed her talent was the movie "Easy A" (Easy A), which was released in 2010. Before filming in this project, she suddenly shocked the public with a statement that she was leaving the cinema. However, the role of Marianne, a two-faced puritan, interested the actress and returned her to work. However, Amanda's revelations about leaving the cinema were not an empty phrase and the result of a one-day bad mood.

Not funny

After the filming of Easy A, Amanda became addicted to drugs, which negatively affected her appearance and psychological state. The actress lost her beauty and mind in endless parties, where she indulged in weed and alcohol. This could not remain without consequences, and in 2012, drunk Bynes became the culprit of a road accident. The star left the scene, and it soon became clear that the abuse of hazardous substances had a strong effect on the girl's psyche. Several actions of the actress, far from the actions of a sane person, led to the fact that Amanda Bynes in a psychiatric hospital began to get rid of addiction and a personality crisis.

First, the star wrote a strange letter to Barack Obama, and then behaved inappropriately in public, screaming and hiding in the fitting room of the store. After the first accident, Bynes got into a series of subsequent accidents and was sentenced to three years (conditionally). Just a few days after the trial, the actress's apartment was searched. Amanda was charged with possession of marijuana. At the second trial in a row (in 2013), she appeared in a ridiculous disheveled wig. Then Bynes agreed to undergo treatment at a reputable rehabilitation center in Malibu, but this helped only briefly. As a result, Amanda Bynes found a three-week shelter in a psychiatric hospital.

After shoplifting, setting fire to a neighbor's house and aggressively attacking a fan who tried to take her picture, the final straw was the accusation by the actress of her own father of sexual harassment. Since October 10, 2014 Amanda Bynesin a psychiatric hospital began to undergo a compulsory course of treatment. The girl was released from the clinic on November 1. It seems that now the star has returned to normal life. She enrolled at the California Institute of Fashion and Design and dreams of becoming a famous designer.
