It looks like troubled star Amanda Bynes will be home for the holidays. Inside sources told TMZ that Bynes has shown great progress since she's been undergoing treatment at a mental facility and there's a good chance she can return to her parents' home before Christmas.
The 27-year-old actress was placed on an involuntarily hold at UCLA's medical center back in July after months of displaying erratic behavior and disturbing tweets. She was also rumored to have been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Last month the "Easy A" actress left UCLA's famed psychiatric center and moved to a luxurious rehabilitation facility in Malibu called The Canyon, reports The New York Daily News.
Now, sources say that her mental health has shown improvements due to her medication and psychological counseling, which has promped her doctors to let her leave the exclusive rehab facility.
According to inside sources at In Touch, the "Hairspray" actress is concentrating on reinventing herself and getting back into society. However, they warned that "her relationship with her parents is very strained," says the source, explaining that she resents her parents for letting her illness go untreated for so long. "Amanda dreads seeing them, but she goes."
Doctors will release Bynes to her mom who will then take her to the family house and provide supervision sometime in December.
Another reason doctors are releasing the actor is because they are worried that she is going stir-crazy in the rehab centre. Bynes is forbidden from going outside the building because paparazzi surround the facility. However, staffers are worried that paps will photograph the actor with other patients, which would violate their medical confidentiality, TMZ reports.
