Amanda Bynes — who derailed her career with a series of bizarre public meltdowns — has sparked new fears about her mental health while announcing a comeback!

"I do miss acting and I have something surprising to tell you: I'm going to start acting again," she told ABC news journalist Diana Madison in her first interview in four years. But not everyone is thrilled at the idea of Amanda's return, as she went from a tween idol on "The Amanda Show" to being committed after her public breakdown. And a shocking photo obtained by The ENQUIRER even suggests she's still committing self-harm!

The National ENQUIRER caught the fragile 31-year-old during a rare public outing — with slash-like marks clearly shown near her wrists. Amanda’s history, coupled with these scary scars, is a major cause for concern, L.A.- based psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Mann warned The ENQUIRER.

“Typically, people resort to cutting because they are experiencing emotional pain, and cutting is an external way to express that pain,” Dr. Mann revealed. Amanda, who struggles with bipolar disorder and takes medication, was finally placed under involuntary psychiatric hold in 2014 after a series of incidents culminating in her falsely accusing her father of sexual abuse.

Amanda later claimed a “microchip” in her brain was responsible for her actions. She eventually reemerged from therapy to enroll as a student at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Amanda now has a live-in life coach, but friends remain worried.

“She’s lonely and chain-smokes, and only ever goes out if she needs to go to a store,” our mole revealed. A rep insisted Amanda is “doing well” — but an insider said, “She doesn’t live a normal life!”
