Amanda Bynes: "I Was Diagnosed Bipolar and Manic Depressive...I'm Fine"
Amanda Bynes tweeted early this morning that she's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and that she is taking her medication. Bynes has been tweeting and deleting various statements about her health since she was released from a psychiatric hold on Friday.
Amanda's mother and current conservator Lynn Bynes hasn't confirmed the diagnosis.
