Drew Barrymore recalls being admitted to psychiatric ward at 13

Actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore has opened up about an intense period when her mother had her admitted to a psychiatric ward when she was a teen.

The 46-year-old got candid, telling TV shock host Howard Stern: “I used to laugh at those Malibu 30-day places. Malibu was sort of the opposite of the experience I had. I was in a place for a year and a half called Van Nuys Psychiatric.

“And you couldn’t mess around in there and if you did, you would get thrown either in a padded room or get put in stretcher restraints, and tied up.”
