Mischa Barton Is Placed Under Psychiatric Hold!

Mischa Barton has reportedly been placed under involuntary psychiatric hold at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The reports come after Barton called police to her L.A. home for help with a “health problem.” Details on her condition were not released, though LAPD officer April Harding confirmed that authorities had removed Barton from her home. “We assisted her with a medical issue and removed her from her home,” Harding said, adding that no paramedics were involved.

A rep for the 23-year-old tells People magazine the police were called to help protect Barton from the media while she was transported to her doctor.

Sources now tell Access Hollywood that the former OC star has been put on a 5150 hold, which means police can hold a person involuntarily in a psychiatric ward if they present a danger to themselves or others, or suffer from a mental disorder. The same hold was placed on Britney Spears twice in 2008.

A rep for Barton says the actress will not attend the world premiere of her new film "Homecoming" Thursday night in NYC.
