Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes has been put on a 72-hour psychiatric hold following an incident in Los Angeles.

Reports say the 36-year-old former actress was found roaming the streets naked near downtown LA on Sunday morning.

According to reports, she flagged down a car, said she was coming down from a psychotic episode and called 911.

She is currently in medical care, where she's expected to stay for several days.

On Saturday, she was scheduled to appear at 90's con with her former "All That" co-stars Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, and Lori Beth Denberg. At the time, her cancellation was due to an undisclosed illness.

In 2013, Bynes was put under conservatorship while struggling with her mental health and had a public breakdown.

With the full support of her parents, that conservatorship was dissolved last year.

At the time, she said, "In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritize my well-being in this next chapter."

TMZ says her parents do not plan to reinstate the conservatorship.
