• "Lo ha declarado, en una entrevista a la revista "People". Los medios ya se han hecho eco en otras ocasiones, de los problemas de adicción de la actriz, que no está atravesando una buena etapa. Podría abandonar el centro médico, este fin de semana".
  

"20 MINUTOS.ES. 18.07.2009.-19:59.h."La noticia del ingreso de la actriz, Misha Barton en la unidad psiquiátrica del centro médico Cedars-Sinai, en Los Ángeles, preocupó a sus amigos, a pesar de que algunos de ellos, ya lo esperaban, como informa la web, de la revista People".

"Y es que, una amiga de la actriz, en declaraciones a la misma revista, ha confirmado que "lo veían venir". "Lleva metida en una senda de destrucción, desde hace algún tiempo", añade".

"Según esta amiga, las drogas y el alcohol, la han alejado de su gente. "No creo que conozca sus límites", dice. La actriz de la popular serie "The O.C.", de 23 años, se encuentra hospitalizada, y bajo evaluación psiquiátrica, desde el pasado miércoles, lo que le ha impedido acudir al estreno mundial, de su última película, Homecoming".

"Al parecer, la actriz no estaba atravesando una buena etapa, ya que "tenía bastantes problemas personales", según la misma amiga. Sin embargo, no es la primera vez, que Mischa se enfrenta a sus "demonios".

"Sonados son sus problemas con el alcohol. En diciembre de 2007, era detenida por conducir ebria, y en febrero de 2008, fue condenada a tres años de libertad condicional".

"Las razones de su reciente hospitalización, no han quedado del todo claras, pero algunos expertos, han asegurado que la actriz, podría salir del centro médico, en el fin de semana, si así lo pide, ya que, al parecer, fue ingresada contra su voluntad; o si los doctores así lo consideraran. Aunque si, por el contrario, su estado no mejorase, todavía podría permanecer en el hospital, otros 14 días más".

"Dealing with Personal Issues"

"Almost a year after describing her DUI arrest as "a low point," Mischa Barton – who called police with a health problem Wednesday – may be hitting another rough patch".

"She has been dealing with a lot of personal issues," a pal tells PEOPLE about the actress who has been spotted club hopping in L.A. and London the past few months. "I don't know if she really ever gave up some of the bad habits that had gotten out of control a couple years back."

"The 23-year-old actress was scheduled to attend the premiere of her movie Homecoming Thursday night in New York City but Access Hollywood reports she remained at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles under psychiatric hold".

"Filmmaker Wishes Her Well"."I wish her all the best. First and foremost, we want her to get healthy again," Homecoming producer Austin Stark tells PEOPLE. "It's obvious we'd like her to support the movie and be here, but we hope she gets better."

"And of shooting Homecoming with Barton in Pittsburgh, Stark says, "When she was on-set, she acted like a professional. I honestly had no complaints. She struck me as a nice young girl, she never said anything mean to anyone, and she wasn’t late on-set or anything like that."

"Her rep declined to comment on the report of her going to a psych ward, but tells PEOPLE, "Mischa has been hospitalized per the recommendation of her doctor and is resting in the hospital."

"Hospitalized in 2007"."Her hospitalization comes two years after Barton was also hospitalized in May 2007 after feeling ill at a friend's Memorial Day barbeque. The incident was the start of what would become several months of both legal and personal troubles for the former star of The O.C..

"In December 2007, Barton was arrested for DUI, marijuana possession and driving without a license after police spotted her straddling two lanes of traffic while under the influence of alcohol, according to authorities".

"She pleaded no contest and was sentenced to three years of unsupervised probation in April 2008. [Barton's sister Hania also weathered her own share of rumors after a tabloid reported she was hospitalized in 2008 for a drug overdose".

"Later that year in September, the actress split from her musician boyfriend Taylor Locke after dating him for a few months. "I'm not used to being single but it's really nice," she told PEOPLE in October".

"Relationship Troubles"."In late 2008, Barton began dating another rocker, The Kooks' Luke Pritchard, but called it quits in March because "the bad just started to outweigh the good and a long distance relationship is never an easy thing to do," she wrote on her blog".

"The actress then had to fend off tabloid reports after photos surfaced showing a thinner Barton, prompting speculation about her weight and health".

"Just so you know I'm happier and healthier than ever. Things are really well in Mischa world and I've just been watching what I eat," she said on her Web site".
