Amanda Bynes Won't Get Custody When Her Baby is Born.

Amanda Bynes will have to give up custody of her kid when is born around 8 months from now ... due to her mental health issues.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Amanda's about 6 weeks pregnant and currently receiving treatment in a psychiatric facility. While it's a good sign she's getting treatment ... we're told Amanda's father and her BF, Paul Michael, will share custody of the baby. BTW, yes she's back with Paul and we're told they're working things out.

The reason Amanda's dad is getting co-custody is because she remains under a conservatorship run by her parents ... they've taken care of her and made all her legal and medical decisions for years.

Our sources say Amanda does not yet realize she's losing custody. We're also told she did NOT get pregnant in an attempt to get out of her conservatorship -- and nothing is changing with the conservatorship.

Amanda's been wanting a child for some time now, according to our sources, but people around her are worried about the baby's health because Amanda smokes cigarettes.

As we reported ... Amanda announced her pregnancy Tuesday night by posting a pic of the ultrasound, which she's since taken down.

Phew. I was actually sad when I read she was pregnant. My niece is bi-polar and she fucked up one of her kids, the one that was adopted is flourishing however.

Did Drake ever murder her vagina?

Why won't she or her parents admit that she has schizophrenia? She is always yammering on about her sobriety, but the fact that she is still regularly being treated in psychiatric wards confirms she wasn't merely a drug addict. Many people with schizophrenia self-medicate with drugs, which is what she was doing. It's transparent but no one in her camp will admit it.

She COULD have an abortion. Just a thought... also, if she’s only six weeks pregnant, there is a chance she could miscarry. Of course, that never actually happens to people who would be good parents.

r3 I have wondered that too. Instead of dancing around and not admitting she has this disease why not just let it be known ? Its nothing to be ashamed of and perhaps might cause people to have more understanding and sympathy instead of writing her off as a fuckoff and goofball. She isnt ever going to be "well" or "cured" and that should be explained. Maybe the press would lighten up on her . Its a similar situation with Brtney Spears. Her father gets shit for "controlling" her finances and making major decisions. Her fans have made him a villain in all this but if the truth was told he has literally saved her life - and most likely will have to continue to watch over her legally so some pimp like this one doesnt get his claws into her. It happeded to Britney before with that Sam Lufti person. He was feeding her drugs and cleaning her out until her father stepped in..

She doesn't have any mental illness, she is a stupid druggie.

Being a druggie makes you bad, being bipolar makes you a victim.

And the load of bullshit about the baby being harmed because of smoking. Like the millions of babies alive now who had mothers that smoked like chimneys.

You can't take psych meds when pregnant. They take you off them and won't put you back on until you stop breast feeding. Good luck to Amanda and her family.

She obviously loves the baby who is growing inside of her. Aborting it would only send her farther over the edge.

Lots of docs will continue to prescribe psych meds during pregnancy. The risk to the mother is too great to let them be unmedicated

"You can't take psych meds when pregnant. They take you off them and won't put you back on until you stop breast feeding. Good luck to Amanda and her family."

Nonsense. There is a subspecialty of psychiatry called reproductive psychiatry, and doctors who specialize in this are knowledgable about what drugs can safely be taken in pregnancy.

Can the Grandpa/Daddy and the Babydaddy put the kid up for adoption without Amanda’s consent?

This. Will. End. In. Tears.

Try again, R6. She's not a mere drug addict—you don't get placed under a conservatorship because you're on drugs. She is mentally ill. Anyone with half a brain can tell by this short audio recording that she is not someone who is psychologically sound.

R15 here is another one from back around 2014, when all of her problems were reaching a boiling point. These are obviously the ramblings of someone who is mentally ill. To minimize it with "She's just another drugged out child star" is a massive oversight in Amanda's case. I believe she is legitimately schizophrenic.

R13 r15 Shit, that's unreal. Isn't the clinical term "word salad "? One thing that interests me is how many severely mentally ill people were saner and more together as teenagers than they were as twenty something adults. I look at interviews with Spears and Bynes as teenagers and it's like something completely regressed psychologically later on. This echoes the pattern of a few people I know personally. Like a guy in high school who was slightly quirky as a teen but bright, articulate, and definitely in touch with reality. By 23 he was schizophrenic. Same with a now severely bipolar woman that I worked with when we were both teens. It's just striking because one would think that severe psychiatric illness would first appear during the hyper hormonal teenage years.

R17 schizophrenia typically appears in men in their early 20s; for women, it tends to surface in their later 20s. The timing makes perfect sense for Bynes.

In this interview from 2017, Amanda was surprisingly cogent and seemed in good spirits. I'm assuming she was following a treatment plan with antipsychotics, which help stabilize people who experience symptoms of their schizophrenia. Her more recent behavior, though (the face tattoos, weird Instagram videos, her new "fiancé") is a bit worrisome. The problem with people who have schizophrenia is that, if they quit taking their meds, they can spiral into a full tailspin fairly quickly. It's one of those things that has to be closely managed.

I bet she was abused, and her parents are gaslighting her.

[Quote] I bet she was abused

Hmm I wonder by who? 🤔

Well, I know what I’d do with her, but nobody asked me.

Another tragedy of childhood fame. It’s too bad, she was such a cute kid. Wish her all the best and hope she can have some sense of normalcy.

When I wad about 20 I lived in a sleazy roominghouse. There was this mental couple living there and she was pregnant. She had the baby in the bathroom one day. A week later the couple was still there- but the baby was not.

A couple months later she announced she was pregnant again.

According to Amanda, baby daddy/fiance is back in Monterey. No idea if that’s California or Mexico or.

Psychiatric illness is so very inheritable, no one with a severe mental illness should be having children, it's almost child abuse. I have bipolar 2 and although I manage well with medication, I'd never have a child even if I were straight, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Even if the child didn't inherit the illness, it's not fair on the kid to have a parent who does.

Hmph. In my day they used to fix them down there- if you know what I mean.

I think she's been locked up ("hospitalized") again, R29. She will out of commission for a while once again. As stated upthread, my money is on the pregnancy stuff is fantasy.

Oh no...she lost the baby she never had to begin with.

this is what happens when grown men push it up into girls too young

same thing for the boys, Aaron Carter

Why isn't that crazy bitch locked up somewhere?

R33 I'm leaning towards miscarriages. Both options suck.

My money is on R26. Fake sonogram.
