The Beautiful Life: TBL actress Mischa Barton thinks that being sectioned was a “good” thing.
The recently unemployed star was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold earlier this year but says she appreciated the chance to take time out and reassess her life.
“I went to the hospital because of pain with my wisdom teeth and I ended up getting ‘put in,’ but that’s because I was so overwhelmingly stressed out and upset. I think it was my teeth and the stress of having a new job and traveling. I was miserable. Actresses aren’t given the time to recover after stuff like that - you’re expected to bounce back from surgery and work right away again. I was shocked it went that far but I think it was necessary for me to take that time out. I’m so much more settled and calm now. Ultimately, it was a positive thing.”

Britney’s ‘Mental Issues’ Being Treated
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Sam Lufti, the shady man who has somehow wormed his way into Britney Spears’ life, made a point of calling Barbara Walters this weekend to blab about his client. The pop star’s ‘manager’ for some reason felt it was necessary to update the newswoman on Spear’s current status. (Apparently Adnan Ghalib‘s tacky interviews on Entertainment Tonight and The Insider haven’t told us enough.)
So with permission, Walters shared a portion of her conversation with Lufti on today’s episode of The View. The veteran reporter - who was very careful in choosing her words - started off by saying that she “couldn’t vouch for the information”, but that he “seemed to be very knowledgeable” and “was very nice.” She then revealed that Britney (according to Lufti) is suffering from “mental issues which are treatable.” Spears has supposedly been to a psychiatrist and (Barbara assumes) is starting some kind of treatment. Sam claims the singer has been having mood swings and difficulty sleeping. And despite rumors to the contrary, Brit’s mother (Lynne Spears) has apparently been in contact with her daughter and has offered words of support.
