Personal life

"I was raised both religious and secular," Bynes said in 2007. I learned about both [Judaism and Catholicism] from my mother [Judaism]. When I grew up, my parents said it was up to me to choose [which faith to adhere to]. I'm actually a spiritual person. I haven't decided [on a faith] yet. I'm not sure what I believe right now." After voicing a character in a MacFarlane episode, Bynes briefly dated Seth MacFarlane.

Since childhood, Bynes has been interested in illustration and fashion design. Bynes enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Irvine in December 2013.

Bynes was charged in West Hollywood in 2012 with driving under the influence (DUI). The charge was dismissed two years later and she was granted a three-year probation. Bynes was charged with reckless endangerment and marijuana possession in May 2013 after she was discovered smoking in her Manhattan apartment building's lobby. When officers landed at her 36th-floor apartment, she allegedly threw a bong out the window. In June 2014, a New York County judge dismissed the complaint against her.

In July 2013, sheriff's deputies in Ventura County arrested her after she reportedly started a small fire in a stranger's driveway in Thousand Oaks. She was hospitalized as a result of a 72-hour mental health examination. Parents of Bynes' daughter began a conservatorship shortly after she's hospitalization began. Bynes' mother was granted a provisional conservatorship in August for the concerns of Bynes.

"I suspected my father of emotional and sexual assault in a series of tweets in October 2014, bynes, after her parents protested and claimed innocence, but she said, "The microchip in my brain made me say those things, but not the one that ordered them to microchip me." Amanda Bynes' mother was taken care of by Bynes' mother days later. Bynes revealed that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder shortly afterward. According to August 2018, no plans were submitted to resume conservatorship until August 2020.

Bynes said in 2018 that she had been sober for four years with the support of her parents. "I'm really ashamed and ashamed with the things I said on Twitter," she said during her years of substance use: "I'm really ashamed and ashamed with the things I said." I can't go back in time, but if I could, I would. And I'm so sorry for anyone I hurt and whoever I lied about because it really disgusts me." Bynes said that during her days of heroin use, she experimented with cocaine and MDMA, but that the drug she "abused the most" was ADHD prescription drug Adderall.

Bynes decided to end her conservatorship in February 2022. Bynes' health was deemed as improved, and court protection was no longer needed, according to her lawyer. Attorneys representing her parents said they supported her in ending it. On March 22, 2022, the conservatorship was officially ended.
