Not all serious mental illness is a result of "something bad" happening to a person, some definitely have a genetic component, for instance bipolar disorder can run in families. Schizophrenia less so, but nobody knows if it's a result of genetics, negative experiences, or something else, but it's definitely not *just* negative experiences.
In order for the conservatorship to legally valid, she would have to have a form of mental illness that is long-term and disabling, most conserved adults have a form of dementia, schizophrenia, if not developmental delay or a severe brain injury. Because being a fucked-up former child star with all sorts of bad things in their past may screw a person up forever, but not to the point of needing conservatorship.
