However, she did not appear at the convention, and the reason given was that she was suffering from an "unknown illness." We're just continuing to pray for her on her journey, and it's answered prayers that she's doing a lot better." At that time, Bynes' mother was granted conservatorship after the former All That star allegedly had an episode where she started a fire in a neighbor's driveway; she was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold. Reportedly, Bynes personally flagged down a car for assistance and called 911, telling the driver of the automobile that she was "coming down from a psychotic episode." Fortunately, Bynes was not physically injured, though she's expected to be hospitalized for at least the next several days. It's noted in the TMZ report that psychiatric holds most often last 72 hours but can be extended when appropriate.
News of her hospitalization comes just days after she canceled an appearance at 90s Con due to an undisclosed illness.

The episode comes nearly one year after the What I Like About You star was released from a nine-year conservatorship controlled by her mother, Lynn Bynes. These involuntary holds typically last 72 hours but can be extended if a patient continues to meet the criteria for hospitalization.
