People: "Misdiagnosed" Lindsay Lohan wants apology from court

Now that doctors have reportedly concluded that Lindsay Lohan was misdiagnosed, the troubled actress is said to be seething mad at the court system and looking for an apology or restitution.

According to TMZ, doctors at UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Westwood evaluated Lohan and do not believe she has bipolar disorder or an addiction to methamphethamine. In addition, she was reportedly misdiagnosed as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and given the prescription drug Adderall, which may have contributed to a string of manic side effects causing her unusual behavior.

Since she apparently doesn't have a problem, LiLo is looking for restitution for having been sentenced 90 days behind

bars and three months in rehab for violating probation on a 2007 drunk driving charge. Due to overcrowding, the 24-year-old actress was granted early release from jail after two weeks and is currently serving her stint her rehab.

"Lindsay is fuming - she is really upset that the courts put her through all this," a source told Fox 411's Pop Tarts.

The source said Lohan was reportedly "exploring options" to obtain some form of apology or compensation, however taking legal action against the courts would probably be unlikely.

"No judge or prosecutor could be sued under these circumstances, they have absolute immunity," Santa Monica-based Criminal Defense Attorney, Steve Cron, told Fox. "Judge Revel formulated her opinion of Lindsay based on the information she had at the time from another program. The judge could still be dissatisfied with the report from UCLA and seek independent opinions or insist Lindsay be enrolled in other programs."
