Tom cruise speaks about antidepressants?

Question

If u watched the Today Show with Matt Lauer interviewing Tom Cruise on the topic of antidepressants and post partum depression, u will know that Tom cruise is against antidepressant meds and suggests taking vitamins and so forth for treatment as the safest and effective way of treating depression and anxiety etc. Do u agree with Tom Cruise or are u pro antidepress. meds?

Answer 1

I do not agree w/ tom on anything he says

Answer 2

I don't agree with Tom at all! What the hell does he know about postpartum depression? Has he had a kid? Has he ever had depression so serious that VITAMINS cured it?

He's a scientologist. Everything he believes in is the total opposite of psychology/psychiatry. He thinks vitamins will cure everything. He won't even take tylenol. He's against all medicine and I completely disagree.

Scientology is a freaky "religion." They have detox rooms where you go in to "purify" yourself. They depend on donations from the followers so they try to get people in ANY way they can.

Answer 3

there is not any doubt that, for plenty of the individuals who're on antidepressants, antidepressants are a minimum of benign and doubtless do a minimum of a few good. some human beings record sexual area result (no sex rigidity) as well as another indicators. as with any meds, that's ideal in case you do not ought to take them, yet when the benefits outweight the area-outcomes (and they look to for 30 million human beings) then you quite favor to detect taking them. My difficulty is that folk use antidepressants as a fashion to maintain away from making existence differences that would want to handle the soreness. In different words, the way that maximum individuals "strengthen up" (mature, self-actualize, and so on) is that we see issues in our existence that are causing us soreness and we restore them. In different words, each and every so often we favor a touch soreness to flow to inspire us to do the right issues. (i understand that someone on anti-depressants will flame me for that very last paragraph. For you, enable me remind you that melancholy can come from emotional causes, chemical causes, or both. Antidepressants restore the chemical compounds, and purchase some sanity even as you handle any emotional topics, yet they don't seem an option determination to therapy or making healty way of existence judgements).

Answer 9

Mr Cruise is into Scientology, which, in my opinion, is a scam (though I'm sure it has many innocently gullible adherents.)
"Thomas Cruise Mapother IV was born in Syracuse, New York on July 3rd, 1962, to Mary Lee Pfeiffer and Thomas Cruise Mapother III.

He joined the Church of Scientology while married to his first wife, Mimi Rogers.

From 'Tom Cruise:Unauthorized' by Wensley Clarkson;

"When Tom was a fourteen year old he seriously considered becoming a priest. In later years it became clear that he desperately needed a church to attach himself to as a kind of security blanket after all the lonely years of his childhood. That seems to be how he became involved in the highly controversial Church of Scientology.

Tom--along with a handful of other Hollywood stars--has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on training courses inside the church, invented by an eccentric one-time sexual swinger. He often spends days at the church's basecamp in the middle of the Californian desert.

For years, Tom would not admit he was a Scientologist . . . Some Hollywood observers believe that Tom's association with the Scientologists has helped him maintain his highly focused work ethics and greatly assisted him in dealing with stardom. Others find it more difficult to accept. The fact the members of the church apparently believe in inter-galactic travel, reincarnation and the possibility of a more fulfilled existence through mind control probably isn't a big deal. Who in California doesn't? Yet some reports have suggested that members of the church can end up deprived of their free will."

Tom Cruise is one of Scientology's most famous celebrities. Scientology actively recruits celebrities to promote Scientology to the public at large. He's recently gotten engaged to Katie Holmes, who started studying Scientology shortly after meeting Cruise.

Tom Cruise - Involvement in Scientology
When did Tom Cruise join Scientology?

Cruise joined Scientology in the late 1980s. (Sources cited in the Scientology Celebrities FAQ show him stating various years.)

What level has he reached in Scientology?

According to International Scientology News Issue 29, published in late 2004, Cruise has completed OT VI and begun OT VII.

According to a report posted to the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup, Cruise attested to OT V in 2002.

Has Cruise received any special recognition in Scientology?

According to International Scientology News Issue 29, published in late 2004, Cruise received the Freedom Medal of Valor from the International Association of Scientologists - the first such medal ever awarded. (The International Association of Scientologists awards Freedom Medals to prominent Scientology members each year, but this was the first Freedom Medal of Valor.) In the magazine's coverage of the award, Cruise's accomplishments on behalf of Scientology are described:



"From spearheading LRH Purification tech into the heart of human disaster, to changing the face of education at national levels, from eradicating the very thought of psychiatry, to full global dissemination, it is factually a tale of towering scope, and a litany of accomplishments which would take a magazine in itself to catalog."


The feature then states that millions of people learn about Scientology, Scientology study tech, and the evils of psychiatry from Cruise, and claims that "every minute, of every hour - someone reaches for LRH technology [that is, expresses an interest in Scientology] ... simply because they know Tom Cruise is a Scientologist."

Unlike some other Scientology celebrities, his name does not appear in any of the hundreds of Scientology completion lists I've acquired, and he has never been on the cover of Celebrity magazine, which is highly unusual for a Scientology celebrity of his stature. He does appear in a single Scientology completion list under his real name, Tom Mapother, in Celebrity 228, showing him having completed the Student Hat, along with his cousin, William Mapother.

Cruise Goes Public with Scientology
When did Tom Cruise start talking more about Scientology?

In 2004, Cruise broke with his long-time publicist, the powerful Pat Kingsley, and hired his sister, Scientologist Lee Anne DeVette, to be his new publicist. According to Scientology's published completion lists, DeVette has completed OT V, as well as the Scientology Ethics Specialist Course (which includes the "technology of investigations" and "how to investigate and locate sources of suppression standing in the way of achieving one's objectives").

Since then, he has talked much more extensively about Scientology in interviews and public appearances. He drew criticism from the International Dyslexia Association for claiming that Scientology cured his dyslexia. When he publicly criticized Brooke Shields' use of medication to treat her depression (reflecting Scientology's fierce opposition to all psychiatric treatment), she responded, "His comments are dangerous. He should stick to saving the world from aliens" - possibly a reference to a Scientology teaching revealed at OT III and above that our problems are caused by mental implants we received from space aliens trillions of years ago."
