Will Bynes’ parents ask for conservatorship again?

Amanda Bynes spent nine years under a conservatorship after the 36-year-old actress was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Her mother was appointed her conservator in 2013 and almost a year has passed since it ended.

Amanda Bynes apparently had not had any problems after the end of her conservatorship until last Sunday when she was placed on psychiatric hold. At the moment it has not been reported if her parents will seek to recover conservatorship over the actress.
