Mischa in Barton in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center psych ward?
Mischa Barton was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold after calling cops to her Hollywood home on Wednesday night, and sources say they fear she would have been dead within 24 hours had she not been admitted.
From FOX News: ‘A psychiatric expert said California authorities were fearful actress Mischa Barton might have ended up dead within 24 hours when they decided to hospitalize her under the state’s involuntary psychiatric-hold law Wednesday afternoon.
“It’s a 24-hour standard for these statutes,” said Dr. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist and FOX News contributor. “You have to ask yourself, ‘Would this person die in the next 24 hours?’ They have to be at the brink of complete disaster.”
Barton, 23, was brought to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where she was hospitalized under the state’s section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, the New York Post reported.’

5150 is serious. Mischa is seriously ill. I loved her work. She did a good job on The O.C., The Sixth Sense, and I guess Lawn Dogs. She has starred in more than just The O.C. I hope she gets better. This is bad.
