Amanda’s career rose to prominence as she took participation on a hit Nickelodeon series entitled The Amanda Show. Ever since then, she’s been enjoying the limelight of her career glory as she starred in famous films such as Big Fat Liar and What I Like About You. She must’ve gotten bored with her routine that she decided to spice things up by retiring from acting last 2012. But suffice to say, it didn’t work out for her as her life went into a downright spiral and she loses control of it.

For one, she’s been caught by the authorities with drug possessions on multiple occasions. Reports say that the claims about her substance abuse were indeed true. In fact, they said that she had spent around $1.4m in just a matter of months. It seems she developed a Panic Disorder and that she’s extremely paranoid of being watched. Her panic attacks were so severe that she ended up taping her windows shut in just to stop the lenses from taking her photos. Looks like our beloved child star would need to seek medical help and use Zoloft or Xanax to help alleviate her anxiety and depression.

Now, though, Bynes was found slowly regaining her footing once again. Lately, she’s pursuing a career in fashion designing. But for her to be successful in this field, we think she needs to gather her guts to face the camera as the public criticize her every move and her clothes!
