A psychiatry resident talks about Tom Cruise, Scientology and its anti-psychiatric stance
Maria over at intueri: to contemplate has a wonderful blog. She writes:
If Tom Cruise has not ever personally suffered from mental illness, it is my sincere hope that he is grateful for that blessing. His faith in Scientology is steadfast, but his proselytization of the merits of his faith, particularly in the realm of (anti) psychiatry, only reveals his ignorance and lack of empathy for those who do not share in his good fortune and blessings.

Thank you. I am so glad someone else thinks he is extraordinarily narrow-minded and disrespectful to those who are afflicted with mental illness. His comments regarding Brooke Shields and her “dependence” on SSRIs for postpartum depression made me want to scream. Tom says that it’s a “hormonal imbalance” and we can treat it by taking “the right vitamins”. Perhaps some people can, I’m open-minded enough to respect that… but I’d still like to know where he got his M.D.
Thanks for the link and the kind words, Dr. Kevin. I appreciate it.
tom cruise should, in my opinion, seek treatment from whatever he is suffering from. i watched that oprah episode and i’ve never seen anyone who’s in love act like that.
