Amanda Bynes has denied speculation her rehab stint and erratic behaviour was because she has schizophrenia. Hear what the 28-year-old has to say in the video above.

"There has been much speculation about Amanda's medical condition," the 28-year-old's attorney Tamar Arminak told People. "She asked me to dispel certain rumours. For the record, Amanda does not have schizophrenia, nor has she ever been diagnosed with it.

"She continues to undergo outpatient therapy several times a week [and] she's still working through the causes of her past bizarre behaviour."

Her attorney also adds that the star is off the pot, is not medicated and is trying to be as healthy as possible.

"Amanda currently is on zero medication," he said. "She's devoted to living her life as healthy as possible. She's never had a history of abusing alcohol or hard drugs, and she's proud to say she's been marijuana-free for the past nine months.

"She's doing extremely well. Her primary focus is bonding with her family and being a student. We're so proud of how far Amanda has come."

So are we! What a trooper.
