Mischa Barton opened up about her August breakdown today on "The View" -- saying the whole thing started when her wisdom teeth surgery went "really badly wrong."
A lucid Mischa said she was already "overwhelmed" by work when she went in for surgery, which only made things worse. Barton says she was sent to the psychiatric ward because, "If you say anything, like, negative in the hospital and they think you're a risk to yourself, they hold you, they won't let you go."
Mischa said she hit "rock bottom," but is "fine" now and called the whole ordeal a "wake-up call."

Now that they have legal protection from that crazy stalker guy, Jen Garner and her daughter felt safe enough to break out their giant megawatt smiles at LAX earlier today -- but their security guy, he still meant business.
Just yesterday Jen scored a permanent protection order against Steven Burky, the man she says has been "stalking and harassing" her with some extremely creepy emails. Burky is still under a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Jennifer Garner has obtained a court order protecting herself from a man she believes is endangering her family.
TMZ has obtained docs ordering Steven Burky to stay clear of Garner -- no contact whatsoever.
In her declaration, Garner says "Mr. Burky has been stalking and harassing me," sending "packages and letters containing delusional and paranoid thoughts and following me around the country ..."
Garner says Burky has been harassing her since 2002, but in the last year "his obsessive and harassing behavior has escalated to the point of becoming dangerous and threatening."
Garner says Burky has shown up at her home and said, "God has sent him a vision of her being persecuted in some manner that may result in her death."
Garner says she fears for herself, husband Ben Affleck and daughter Violet. She also says "I am currently pregnant and fear for the safety of my second child once born."
Burky has written a blog called Satanic Panic, asking, "Are multitudes of adults resorting to human sacrifices and then repressing this information from fear of Christ..."
A judge issued a temporary restraining order earlier this month. There's a hearing tomorrow to make the order permanent.
Garner's security guy, Dennis Bridwell, also submitted a declaration in which he said Burky described himself as a "crazed Alias fan," once finding her at an event, giving her roses and a card that read "I love you forever" along with his contact information. Bridwell says Burky has stalked Garner around the country, adding, "Mr. Burky now represents a clear threat to Ms. Garner's life."
We've learned the LAPD has taken the threat seriously and has been involved in the case.
Law enforcement sources tell us Burky is currently under a 5150 psychiatric hold.
