This sounds serious, but at least she's getting the help she needs!

Amanda Bynes' doctors are planning to ask a judge to grant a special type of conservatorship that will keep her confined at a facility and medicated for a full year, TMZ reports. The LPS hold, as it is formally known, is only granted when a patient is "gravely disabled as a result of a mental disorder or impairment by chronic alcoholism."

The troubled starlet is allegedly furious with her parents Rick and Lynn for tricking her into entering the Pasadena mental hospital where she is currently being kept, so any conservatorship they would obtain isn't guaranteed to keep the actress under control. This isn't the first time the 28-year-old will be placed under an LPS hold, either. The former child star was under one a little over a year ago, after she infamously suffered a public breakdown and lit a fire in a neighbors driveway.

Mental illness is no joke, and we're glad professionals have stepped in to keep her safe and get her on the road to recovery.
