14. Amanda Bynes

Problematic actress Amanda Bynes is also a victim of mental illness and her controversial behavior has been the result of untreated schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

One of the most shocking incidents in which she was involved was trying to burn down her neighbor’s house – an unfortunate event that finally raised questions about her mental health. Bynes subsequently spent four months in a mental rehab facility in Florida, where doctors diagnosed her with schizophrenia. She started taking medications and eventually got better – though she still has instances of alarming behavior.

The actress is now living with her folks in California and plans on making a comeback as soon as she fully recovers and feels ready to resume her career. Amanda also stated that she would like to try something new, and was recently considering going to college.
