Amanda Bynes has been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold for the second time this year.
Over the weekend, the Nickelodeon star was detained by police and taken into custody for a mental health evaluation — which she seemingly failed, according to TMZ.
The outlet also reported that Bynes, 37, had been the one to call the cops for help.
On Monday, sources told the outlet that the former child star was deemed a danger to herself and those around her.
Now that Bynes is on a mandatory psychiatric hold, she can be held for up to 72 hours by law.
Reps for the former actress did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
