Mischa Barton happy with hospital

Mischa Barton thinks being sectioned was a "good" thing.

The former 'O.C.' 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.




"Ultimately, it was a positive thing."

Despite the stigma associated with mental health issues, Mischa insists lots of people suffer from disorders and are hospitalised.

She added to Heat magazine: "It's something that could've happened to anyone - going into hospital and having a bad experience then being held on an involuntary psychiatric hold. It happens to more people than you'd know. It's a common thing."
