Mischa Barton Explains Her Hospitalization

Mischa Barton is opening up about the "hell" in her life that led to her hospitalization in July, and she reveals whether or not she thinks she had a nervous breakdown.

The former "The O.C." star tells Time Out New York that her life took a downward spiral after a "terrible surgery" in which she says she had four wisdom teeth removed and “it all went wrong and I had to have a second surgery.”

She says the second operation nearly delayed shooting on her upcoming The CW show "The Beautiful Life." "I couldn’t deal with the thought of not getting there on time," she says. "So with the travel, and surgery and prep for the show -- it was hell."
