Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes has taken to social media to provide her fans with an update on her life, detailing how she has been "in treatment" for the last two months.
The 34-year-old has previously been vocal about her struggles with mental health issues, and in 2018 told Paper Magazine that she was sorry for the things she had said while battling with substance abuse:
"I'm really ashamed and embarrassed with the things I said. I can't turn back time but if I could, I would. And I'm so sorry to whoever I hurt and whoever I lied about because it truly eats away at me. It makes me feel so horrible and sick to my stomach."

As well as revealing that she is once again taking online classes at the Fashion Institute Of Design and Merchandise (where she had been previously enrolled), the All That star also informed her fans that she had spent the last two months receiving treatment.

Back in March, Bynes sparks pregnancy rumors when she posted a selfie of herself and fiancé Paul along with the caption: "Baby on board".
However, in early May, Bynes' attorney David Esquibias US Weekly that the actress was not pregnant, and that she was not residing in sober living.
Esquibias told the site: "She’s sheltering at a safe environment".

Per the Daily Mail, in March, a judge ordered Bynes to enter a mental health facility, which she agreed to but later decided against doing; her lawyer said that she's under care for "ongoing mental health issues".
