Amanda Bynes is taking her mental health and recovery seriously as she is reportedly doing much better in 2014.
A source close to Bynes told PerezHilton.com the once troubled actress is leaving those days behind her thanks to the help of her parents. Bynes doing well on her medications, going to treatment and pursuing an education to realize her dreams in the fashion industry.
"Amanda is responding very well to the medication she is taking for schizophrenia," the insider told the gossip blogger. "Rick and Lynn are absolutely thrilled with the progress she has made in such a short amount of time. She continues to see doctors several times a week. Taking a class in fashion merchandising at a fashion school in Orange County has been an incredibly positive experience for Amanda."
However, another child star who isn't doing so well is Disney actress Selena Gomez. According to multiple reports, the "Come And Get It" singer entered rehab for two weeks in January for an unconfirmed reason, other than it wasn't for substance abuse.
Multiple reports claim her former flame Justin Bieber is the source of her emotional issues, but TMZ sources stated otherwise.
"Bieber and his friends are laughing at Selena's 'bad influence' claims, because they say she's always the drunk at the party," TMZ reports. "Bieber acknowledges he gets wasted, but whenever he had parties Selena was downright competitive, smoking as much weed as the guys and sometimes outdoing them. They say she was also HEAVY into booze."
According to TMZ's source, Gomez's parents are the ones blaming Bieber for her issues instead of making her accountable for her actions. Bieber is also relieved to have Selena out of his life because she was too "high maintenance" and "out of control."
