Not a downfall, a mental health crisis forced into the public eye. “Don’t do drugs” in the thumbnail, really?? This is such an insensitive piece for clicks dude, stop contributing to the mental health stigma.
It's really sad what happened with Amanda. She had amazing comedic timing and a gift for entertaining people as a kid. But her parents didn't protect her, and she ended up getting exploited like basically every other child star does. Miranda Cosgrove, Ariana Grande, and basically all of the kids on Scott Fellows' shows (like Ned's Declassified) were protected by their parents or the adults around them. They are doing fine nowadays.
@@FlorasMorithe Ned's declassified cast at least said so. Miranda Cosgrove never talks bad about it but Janet McCurdy did. ICarly, and vicorious, and even Sam and cat I think were all still Dan shows. But not Ned's. The cast of Ned's said that it was a lot of fun being in the show. They have a podcast now haha
Finally, we need to talk more about the physical and sexual abuse that Amanda went through, especially by the hands of Dan Schneider and her own mother. She needed help and no one was there, absolutely heartbreaking. Another tragic case that could have been prevented
Her mother? Nah, her parents were/are very supportive of her. Even after she accused her dad of abuse, followed by “My dad never did any of those things. The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he's the one that ordered them to microchip me" Stop blaming parents for their screwed up adult kids. Amanda had all the wealth and opportunities in the world but she screwed it all up with dope. Her family has said she’s never been diagnosed with mental illness. I’ve personally heard and seen the very same behavior out of people hooked on meth. She has drug induced psychosis. Which cause paranoid delusions, especially the “microchip in my brain” bs.
There was a video from an Amanda Show skit with her sitting next to him in a jacuzzi and she's blowing up an inflatable pool toy and making a suggestive expression directed at him. He 100% groomed her that was more than enough evidence for me that something was very wrong behind the scenes.
@@inyruiI really hope you're asking for PROOF of the photos, and just worded that poorly.... because that's an unfortunate response to the one above....
Considering how all to familiar she is with the pitfalls of child stardom and was on Nickelodeon as well, I bet that Jeanette McCurdy probably had Amanda on her mind when she wrote her book as an example of how child stardom can often break you, along with her own experiences with being used and abused by unscrupulous producers and her horrible mother.
Amanda didn't have a good relationship with the cast of her own show, as indicated by an interview with one of her castmates. Maybe coupled with mental illness, she didn't have a good personality as well.
@@surft I bet when Miranda Cosgrove asked Josh or Drake (who also has his fair share of issues) about how it was like working for Amanda, she probably felt uneasy but glad she never worked with her, which reminds me, do you think Miranda felt bad for playing such an unlikable character like Megan? If I was her, I would.
It's truly sad and heartbreaking to see kid stars like her be on the rise to fame just to then fall from the face of the earth. This is exactly why Hollywood for kid actors can sometimes be a blessing but it can most definitely be a curse. I really hope she gets the help that she needs as soon as possible
It seems like a long shot, but I really do hope Amanda comes through this and turns her life around. She was a really funny actress and it's sad to see her lose complete control of her life. I pray that someone in her life has her best interests in mind and helps her without taking advantage of her mental state like what always happens when a celebrity is spiraling.
Yeah but if she doubled or tripled up it’s like driving on ⛷️ ❄️ considering how much they reportedly used it to pep her up as a kid I’m sure she had grown very dependent by adulthood. They didn’t properly give it to her as a kid. 🥺 That can also help trigger possible psychosis along with trauma.
I remember Amanda Bynes from watching Nickoledoen as a 90s kid. Loved her solo show and All That. Sad that she went downhill in her personal life, like many ex disney or Nickoledeon child stars. :(
11:45 - She wouldn't have been diagnosed with bipolar _and_ manic depression, seeing as they are the same thing. The latter is simply an outdated term for the disorder.
I really wish people would stop blaming what happened on Amanda bynes to drugs and the pressure of being famous and realize that she has been open about her diagnosis of bipolar disorder and has been open about how she was severely s/a'd repeatedly growing up and was forced to have an abortion against her will because the person who got her pregnant was a person of high standing where she worked. The poor girl is battling mental health issues that are far outside of her control and she really did nothing to cause this other than her parents putting her on TV. I really wish that she would be left alone, at least until she decides whether or not she wants to come back to Hollywood on purpose. She is a very creative person and is an amazing actress who actually holds an award for being the youngest person to ever hold their own variety show or talk show, and she deserves to be remembered for those reasons rather than people focusing on her bipolar disorder and PTSD.
Yeah the “don’t do drugs” seems really shitty. How about “don’t abuse children” because they’ll often end up reaching out to harmful coping mechanisms when they don’t have a support system.
Seriously. Everyone who turns to drugs (and I mean *everyone* ), has an underlying reason. Drugs are a very effective coping mechanism. They work immediately and only start showing problems once you're in an active addiction. Drugs didn't cause her to spiral, but they certainly didn't help. I wish that people would be more sympathetic to addicts because it can happen to anyone under the right circumstances. I hope Amanda's doing well and will be able to live a stable, happy life.
First sentence: I wish people would stop focusing on the drugs, and realize what she said herself about being diagnosed Bipolar Last sentence: She deserves to be remembered for [insert accomplishments] and not her mental health struggles Which one do you want? Because this novel contradicts itself within the first 5 sentences and makes no sense.
@@nignamedmutt7270 how is it contradictory? I think it's very clear that the original commenter wishes Amanda would be remembered for her professional accomplishments, while simultaneously wishing people would stop surface level blaming her behavior on drug use and instead recognize that it is linked to trauma/mental health struggles. What she is remembered for/what sort of legacy she leaves != what people recognize/realize about her in the present moment
you know, at least she’s doing better at this point, even though she’s put back in psychiatric care atm. it was really sad and frustrating to hear her become sober and then relapse many times, but progress is never really a steadily linear journey.
Well you can't detain someone indefinitely if they're not committing a crime or they're not a danger to themselves or others. That would be a crime to do so.
Should we bring back mental asylums? What is the solution? Obviously it would be nice if family could take care of folks in these cases, but not all families are willing or able to do so… and that’s if the person even has a family. There isn’t really an easy fix for these type of things. I agree that it sucks but this is how it is.
@squanchysquanch1840 It would be nice if we had the people and resources to offer actual homes to people, like nice halfway houses or something. But even then we wouldn't be able to force anyone. And it's just a pipe dream because god forbid we take care of vulnerable people.
@@averysspookshowspectacular6205 there are half-way houses, sober living homes, shelters etc. there are folks who take care of vulnerable people. Like I said, having family do this is probably the main viable option, but isn’t an option for everyone. And I don’t think family members should be forced to take care of mentally ill adults. My older brother is mentally disabled due to drug overdoses, my best friend in high school was emancipated by his parents at 17 and went schizophrenic due to meth use. He is still living on the streets as far as I know. These issues are very relevant to me, so I certainly have compassion for folks going through things like this, but there’s no easy solution. Ofc it would be nice to house everyone and have folks look after them, but we don’t live in a utopia and human nature shows us that often times these people are taken advantage of or treated poorly by their caretakers, even by their own family sometimes. So I don’t think there’s really a valid solution that has been discovered, at least not yet. I don’t think socializing these issues would be effective, even if we did have the resources to do so. It’s easy to go on about how terrible and sad it is, it’s an entirely other thing to figure out an effective solution.
Although it may break my heart I got to agree her and Brittany too whatever Hollywood/ their parents did to them they've still not recovered from. Like one they're out of their conservatorship they both started acting weird again. I truly think their minds are just fucked, fucked, beyond repair.
DON'T BE EXPLOITED BY YOUR PARENTS FROM YOUTH AND GENETICALLY PREDISPOSED TO PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES* Kinda whack to generalize/trivialize someone's struggles with mental health as 'DRUGS' when you don't know if or why they might be self-medicating
The microchip implanted into her brain after being kidnapped by aliens really brought her downfall. What a sad end for such a bright star. _Damn the Aliens, they always end up ruining our most beloved child stars!_
It's really sad when you consider what happens to these actress and actresses. Some of them have some of the worst experiences in life. I hope they can get better and live a peaceful rest of their lives
Small observation, when playing audio clips putting in subtitles would be nice just to make it a little easier to understand 😊 great vid as per usual man 👍👍
As a recovering addict, it's interesting to see how drugs affect everyone differently. I never had any sort of drug related mental breakdowns and I only had hallucinatory problems when I was up for more than 5 days.. especially in April 2016 when I was up for 9 days! I hope Amanda can find meds and therapy so she can maintain a healthy state of mind that makes her happy.
And even if she was never involved in The Amanda Show, Miranda Cosgrove has also come out nice and healthy, like her co-star Josh as she went to study film at USC and after she graduated, she managed to still get more roles, including reprising her in the iCarly reboot
I can't help but think it's an irony. The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh writing mocked his appearance for humor and he ended up being well-adjusted and normal comparatively to the other big stars.
Jennette went through hell and back during her time at Nickelodeon, experiencing physical, psychological, and possibly even sexual abuse from both Dan and her mother. Yet she was still able to get help for her trauma and found her real passion in writing and directing.
Ooh Nelly, tell that to Disney and Rick Riordan as even though his Percy Jackson show hasn't come out, yet, season 2 has been greenlit, probably to make sure the kids are still as young as the characters they're portraying, instead of giving them a break and time to relax but I guess if the story demands it, you must act to retain your youth!
Loved her in hairspray .. she has great talent...i feel sure her coming into contact with dan schneider was a big part of her issues but its for her to tell her own tale really. I hope she continues to fight back and find mental health balances. I feel she has a lot going for her in the future.
was just thinking about Amanda Bynes after listening to a few podcasts with Josh Peck. thanks Art, your short documentaries are as interesting as ever after years of enjoying your content. all the best.
What’s weird is that she didn’t spiral down till she was “older” and after her being in the spotlight for some time. 26 is a strange age for a “child star” to start acting out🤷🏻♂️
most child stars have issues the older they get. plus, theres speculation she was the victim of dan foot guy, and if true that would also mess her up. downfalls arent always immediate
poor girl, ill always be rooting for her. being shot to stardom so quickly at such a young age is difficult and we have proof of that in every single child actor.
I love how it's well known that giving power to a mob doesn't result in rational decisions, yet, they let a mob have Britney Spears be on her own again, and now look at that mass. She's completeley mental, and the same mob is not there to take responsibility. Those internet people are completely egotistical and only act from a fanboy standpoint, not knowing her personally.
Very biased, one-sided reporting that convinently (and frustratingly) ignores the root _cause_ of her recent mental instability. She had some terribke thinfs happen to her at Nick and as a child. She was _living_ with known pedophile weirdo Dan Schneider at a point in her life whole filming The Amanda Show. On top of that, she was _constantly_ working and now involved in the same hold that Britney was just freed from. (Or, I know her parents were pushing for it, i dont know if theyve succeeded, though.) Everyone im that young childs life failed to protect her during a most vulnerable stage in her life. The very least you can do while youre pimping out her problems for your own gain is afford her the simple decency of reporting on the _entire_ story instead of just the moments you deem "entertaining" and salacious enough.
It's strangely coincidental to me that she had a breakdown/issues right as soon as she was supposed to be a part of the "All That" reunion. Breakdowns and problems like that are very much linked to trauma, I am wondering if something happened to her because of that show or someone abused her. That Dan Schneider guy was sometimes in that show, wonder if it's related to him, as there's claims he was an abuser re: underage people.
What a nightmare... poor girl can't go back to the Nick days and undo the abuse she went through. It's a shame to see one of my childhood heroes implode like this, but it's the reality of Hollywood. I still don't get why acting is so much safer for children than working at McDonald's which was recently in the news for employing teenaged kids and underpaying them. I think neither should be okay.
It’s so annoying how people get passes because their famous.. she had a mental break and suffered with mental illness . Y’all let brittney go and now she’s fucked….
Wait what?? You are telling me Hollywood isn’t nice to children? I had no idea… especially with such loving and caring people around that scene like Epstein and all of them who were just so good to children.. 🙌😩
Some child stars end up like this, others don't, it all depends on the parents. That's why there's groups like A Minor Consideration and they have to follow rules, which is there are things like twins playing really young children i.e. Mary Kate Ashley Olsen. It's so weird to me because Amanda (along with The Olsens and Lindsay Lohen) was the born same year I was, our lives couldn't be anymore different.
This video probably should have mentioned The fact that there was a Nickelodeon employee regularly abusing the child's stars. I can't remember if it was a director or or a producer or who it was. But I definitely remember hearing the story about multiple child stars being abused by this person, Cuz to be fair that was probably the source of her substance abuse in the first place
Cases like Amanda make you wonder if being a star actor at a young age is actually worth it. On the surface the money, opportunities, fame & all the perks of achieving stardom so young seems to instantly make it seem well worth it & a extremely desirable postion but it seems there's a very high probability of self destruction caused by the seedy entertainment industry & it's extremely shady reputation along with losing your privacy, growing up in the public eye where any mistakes you make is put under a microscope for the world to see & judge or the inevitable paranoia you would get about the intentions of the people you meet & surround yourself with not to mention fearing the higher possibility of attracting obsessive mentally unstable "fans" the more popular you become which would make anyone feel uneasy & feel the need to have your guard up at all times. You seem to have to subject yourself to the dark, dangerous rituals & reality of hollyweird to truly make it, are all the perks of stardom actually worth it?
I infer from this that throwing a bong on the ground is more reprehensible than driving under the influence of ethanol and colliding with other vehicles.
Children of any sort in any form of media should be banned, it seems impossibly difficult for child stars not to go bad or at least have quite the odd time growing up.
Maaaan... Britney Spears, she went nuts but I didn't care. But Amanda's story made me upset. She was like Jenny McCarthy meets Jim Carrey and barely a teenager. She didn't deserve everything she went through, especially screwed up is she didn't even care to do TV..they insisted she do it. Hope she eventually finds true peace.
@@charlesli6751 Obviously they know there’s nothing they can do about it. But that doesn’t mean they have to take part. It’s like calling out a vegetarian for not eating meat despite them not doing anything to save animals. Come off it.
Amanda Bynes and Britney Spears conservatorship conservatorships are very different. Britney was being abused. Amanda needs help anyone who gets a face tattoo is desperately screaming for help whether they want to admit it or not they want attention they want eyes on them while else would she ruin her face.
I had no idea she had this level of up and down in her life so far. The very end just when I think "surely she's turned the corner" ... nope, wandering the streets naked
DUI under adderall? I think I drive really well when I am on adderall, I have saved myself from at least 2 crashes while I was on adderall, how do you get a DUI from it? I thought it makes reaction time better.
Her mother shouldnt have taken her off the meds. A qualified doctor should have evaluated her and made that decision. For some conditions you need the meds and don't just "stop taking them" cold turkey. Shit like that pisses me off. No shit she was getting better to her Mom - it was the fucking medication, that her Mom put a stop to!
I pray for Amanda & people like her. She & other child stars in Hollywierd (yes, "Hollywierd") go threw so much & all too often, this is the outcome. This abuse needs to stop & mental illness needs to be taken more seriously.
What to watch next.

1986? Wow. She's only a year older than me.. crazy..
i really hope she gets better, used to love her show as a kid, sad to see her go from that to being so unwell
"don't do drugs" more like don't be abused and taken advantage of as a child
Crazy that out of Amanda, Drake, and Josh, Josh is the only one who turned out to be somewhat well adjusted and not a pedo
What about Miranda Cosgrove
And even if she was never involved in The Amanda Show, Miranda Cosgrove has also come out nice and healthy, like her co-star Josh as she went to study film at USC and after she graduated, she managed to still get more roles, including reprising her in the iCarly reboot
There's tons of Nickelodeon kids that came out fine, these are just the biggest names.
I can't help but think it's an irony. The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh writing mocked his appearance for humor and he ended up being well-adjusted and normal comparatively to the other big stars.
Jennette went through hell and back during her time at Nickelodeon, experiencing physical, psychological, and possibly even sexual abuse from both Dan and her mother. Yet she was still able to get help for her trauma and found her real passion in writing and directing.
Imagine having 5 DUI's and arson charge, and never suffering any reprocussions.
Of course you will continue like nothing happend.
This is the main reasons why child actor’s shouldn’t stay too long in Hollywood.🐱
Ooh Nelly, tell that to Disney and Rick Riordan as even though his Percy Jackson show hasn't come out, yet, season 2 has been greenlit, probably to make sure the kids are still as young as the characters they're portraying, instead of giving them a break and time to relax but I guess if the story demands it, you must act to retain your youth!
Loved Amanda, and only wish the best for her. She brought me so much joy as a child.
McCauley Caulkin is an amazing recovery story
This isn't from drugs. This is from brutal and continuous SA...
Loved her in hairspray .. she has great talent...i feel sure her coming into contact with dan schneider was a big part of her issues but its for her to tell her own tale really. I hope she continues to fight back and find mental health balances. I feel she has a lot going for her in the future.
I'd assumed her downfall and the brief insanity of Jenette McCurdy was because of Dan "Get out of your vans and into my van " Schneider.
was just thinking about Amanda Bynes after listening to a few podcasts with Josh Peck. thanks Art, your short documentaries are as interesting as ever after years of enjoying your content. all the best.
What’s weird is that she didn’t spiral down till she was “older” and after her being in the spotlight for some time. 26 is a strange age for a “child star” to start acting out🤷🏻♂️
most child stars have issues the older they get. plus, theres speculation she was the victim of dan foot guy, and if true that would also mess her up. downfalls arent always immediate
poor girl, ill always be rooting for her. being shot to stardom so quickly at such a young age is difficult and we have proof of that in every single child actor.
I love how it's well known that giving power to a mob doesn't result in rational decisions, yet, they let a mob have Britney Spears be on her own again, and now look at that mass. She's completeley mental, and the same mob is not there to take responsibility. Those internet people are completely egotistical and only act from a fanboy standpoint, not knowing her personally.
So sad when we hear of stories of child actors we loved as kids going through stuff like this
Being a child star is one of the most dangerous things someone can go through imo.
Honestly, I'm willing to bet that's a genuine fact statistically
The adults in industry often don't treat them well. And parents not parenting well also adds on, it's very disappointing
There’s a reason they say in showbiz “never work with kids or animals”
I hope she begins to heal soon. My sister and I loved her like a sister or a friend we never got the chance to meet.
11:00 Mr. Beast can give away expensive stuff and no one bats an eye. She does it and gets sent to the psych ward. We really do live in a society.
she was spiraling and it was out of character for her. mr beast built his content around giving stuff away
Very biased, one-sided reporting that convinently (and frustratingly) ignores the root _cause_ of her recent mental instability.
She had some terribke thinfs happen to her at Nick and as a child.
She was _living_ with known pedophile weirdo Dan Schneider at a point in her life whole filming The Amanda Show.
On top of that, she was _constantly_ working and now involved in the same hold that Britney was just freed from.
(Or, I know her parents were pushing for it, i dont know if theyve succeeded, though.)
Everyone im that young childs life failed to protect her during a most vulnerable stage in her life.
The very least you can do while youre pimping out her problems for your own gain is afford her the simple decency of reporting on the _entire_ story instead of just the moments you deem "entertaining" and salacious enough.
4:14 tThe headline and speech are censored but you still have it in the article too and bottom. Is the word censored or not?
It's strangely coincidental to me that she had a breakdown/issues right as soon as she was supposed to be a part of the "All That" reunion. Breakdowns and problems like that are very much linked to trauma, I am wondering if something happened to her because of that show or someone abused her. That Dan Schneider guy was sometimes in that show, wonder if it's related to him, as there's claims he was an abuser re: underage people.
Dan Schneider was involved in All That and The Amanda show. I've heard that she was one of the people who endured the worst of his abuse.
@@TobeyFairre7861 That's really messed, and weird that people aren't acknowledging the link between stuff she might deal with and those events.
her trauma led to her substance abuse and mental health breaking. someone was not looking after her during her childhood
I read "Nickelodeon Star" and was like "Aw shit".
What a nightmare... poor girl can't go back to the Nick days and undo the abuse she went through. It's a shame to see one of my childhood heroes implode like this, but it's the reality of Hollywood. I still don't get why acting is so much safer for children than working at McDonald's which was recently in the news for employing teenaged kids and underpaying them. I think neither should be okay.
It’s so annoying how people get passes because their famous.. she had a mental break and suffered with mental illness .
Y’all let brittney go and now she’s fucked….
this is more proof that letting children do any actiing should be illegal
Wait what?? You are telling me Hollywood isn’t nice to children? I had no idea… especially with such loving and caring people around that scene like Epstein and all of them who were just so good to children.. 🙌😩
Dude I have to respect the level you f effort you put it. You have been doing it a long time too.
I hated her on all that. A few years later I had such a big crush on her lol
I used to come home from school and watch her show all the time. She was my first real crush. Sad to see what happened to her.
Im gonna miss when gfm said "expletive" instead of censoring swear words
U can blame Dan schieder for that
Some child stars end up like this, others don't, it all depends on the parents. That's why there's groups like A Minor Consideration and they have to follow rules, which is there are things like twins playing really young children i.e. Mary Kate Ashley Olsen.
It's so weird to me because Amanda (along with The Olsens and Lindsay Lohen) was the born same year I was, our lives couldn't be anymore different.
This is what happens when you demonise a substance beyond it's true possible harm
Ngl. "I wasn't shop lifting. I just didn't have my purse." made me laugh. Its like something they would say in a skit in All That.
After seeing Quiet on Set, it's likely Dan Schneider likely played a part in her downward spiral.
This video probably should have mentioned The fact that there was a Nickelodeon employee regularly abusing the child's stars. I can't remember if it was a director or or a producer or who it was. But I definitely remember hearing the story about multiple child stars being abused by this person, Cuz to be fair that was probably the source of her substance abuse in the first place
In the future, will you be covering Drake Bell and how he has declined in the years following Drake and Josh?
Cases like Amanda make you wonder if being a star actor at a young age is actually worth it. On the surface the money, opportunities, fame & all the perks of achieving stardom so young seems to instantly make it seem well worth it & a extremely desirable postion but it seems there's a very high probability of self destruction caused by the seedy entertainment industry & it's extremely shady reputation along with losing your privacy, growing up in the public eye where any mistakes you make is put under a microscope for the world to see & judge or the inevitable paranoia you would get about the intentions of the people you meet & surround yourself with not to mention fearing the higher possibility of attracting obsessive mentally unstable "fans" the more popular you become which would make anyone feel uneasy & feel the need to have your guard up at all times. You seem to have to subject yourself to the dark, dangerous rituals & reality of hollyweird to truly make it, are all the perks of stardom actually worth it?
@SJTJ true but it is highly desired by millions upon millions around the world
driving under the influence of adderall? time to arrest half of america!
Video ended, bring out the dancing Lobsters
I’ve seen some recent updates of her and she’s now pursuing a career as a MUA and seems happier
I infer from this that throwing a bong on the ground is more reprehensible than driving under the influence of ethanol and colliding with other vehicles.
Two drug addicts in a relationship is akin to two people who can’t swim trying to keep each other from drowning.
Hollywood broke all these kids.
What a shame
Children of any sort in any form of media should be banned, it seems impossibly difficult for child stars not to go bad or at least have quite the odd time growing up.
A DUI on Adderal is so odd. It should make you drive better. Basically the opposite of drunk driving.
Maaaan... Britney Spears, she went nuts but I didn't care. But Amanda's story made me upset. She was like Jenny McCarthy meets Jim Carrey and barely a teenager. She didn't deserve everything she went through, especially screwed up is she didn't even care to do TV..they insisted she do it. Hope she eventually finds true peace.
This is why I will never watch any show with children, this pattern happens WAY too much
Sure Jan
So instead of actually doing anything, you'd rather ignore it? Gotcha
That'll work, that'll stop them from making child show.
@@charlesli6751I mean, if everyone did it, then maybe they'd stop. Problem is, internet boycotts never work.
@@charlesli6751 Obviously they know there’s nothing they can do about it. But that doesn’t mean they have to take part. It’s like calling out a vegetarian for not eating meat despite them not doing anything to save animals. Come off it.
Amanda Bynes and Britney Spears conservatorship conservatorships are very different. Britney was being abused. Amanda needs help anyone who gets a face tattoo is desperately screaming for help whether they want to admit it or not they want attention they want eyes on them while else would she ruin her face.
I had no idea she had this level of up and down in her life so far. The very end just when I think "surely she's turned the corner" ... nope, wandering the streets naked
I actually remember her. Amanda was very funny on all that back when she was just 13.
Such a shame to see someone waste their life like this, oh well
DUI under adderall? I think I drive really well when I am on adderall, I have saved myself from at least 2 crashes while I was on adderall, how do you get a DUI from it? I thought it makes reaction time better.
Murder her what? If you're gonna censor, at least tell me what that word was with a euphamism
Her mother shouldnt have taken her off the meds. A qualified doctor should have evaluated her and made that decision. For some conditions you need the meds and don't just "stop taking them" cold turkey. Shit like that pisses me off. No shit she was getting better to her Mom - it was the fucking medication, that her Mom put a stop to!
I pray for Amanda & people like her. She & other child stars in Hollywierd (yes, "Hollywierd") go threw so much & all too often, this is the outcome. This abuse needs to stop & mental illness needs to be taken more seriously.
Me on drugs rn 😂
