Amanda Bynes has been released from hospital after she spent more than three weeks under a psychiatric hold, according to reports.
The 36-year-old actress was admitted to the psychiatric care facility after she was found wandering the streets naked and alone.
She was seen walking near downtown Los Angeles late last month.
Amanda reportedly flagged down a passing car and told the driver that she was " coming down from a psychotic episode", before calling 911 for herself.
She was then taken to a nearby police station, where a mental health team decided to place her on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

The source said Amanda will live in her own home and keep much of the independence she gained after her nine-year conservatorship came to an end.
It has been reported that her parents are not looking to put her under another conservatorship following her release.
