I got stressed out, says Mischa Barton

London: British actress Mischa Barton who was recently released from hospital has rubbished claims that she suffered a nervous breakdown. The former `OC` star admits she had "got completely stressed out", blaming a demanding work schedule and "terrible" wisdom tooth operation, the Sun reported.

"I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed out just to feel better again," says Barton. The 23-year old actress called cops to her home last month and was placed under involuntary psychiatric hold at a hospital. "I got completely stressed out and couldn`t handle everything, and now I feel really in control," she adds. The actress is now set to get her career back on track and has started shooting for a new TV show `The Beautiful Life` alongside Elle Macpherson and Demi Moore. Bureau Report
