Via TMZ:Amanda Bynes is exhibiting signs of schizophrenia ... and medical professionals and others WILL seek a 2-week extension on her 5150 psychiatric hold so doctors can properly diagnose her ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.We're told ... ever since Amanda was taken into custody Monday night -- after she lit a fire on an elderly woman's driveway in Thousand Oaks, CA -- people close to Bynes are convinced she's suffering from mental illness, specifically schizophrenia.
Sources tell us ... Amanda's parents will now ask a judge to put the 27-year-old in a conservatorship, a la Britney Spears, because they believe she is unable to care for herself and could be a danger to others.
To add fuel to the fire...when Amanda was discovered lighting a driveway with flames and gasoline, her pants were on fire and she was said to be frantic and discombobulated. To make matters worse, Amanda ran into a liquor store, frantic because she had doused her Pomeranian in gasoline. She was detained a short while later.
To those of you who thought this was a publicity stunt or just drugs, what do you make of this?
