Tom Cruise should go back to his cult and leave people alone. And he doesn't know shit about Brooke Shields or what she and alot of other women go through after having a baby. He needs to home and worship his alien God and keep his nutty comments to himself.

Therapy + medication is good, without theraphy it is harmful.

Lauer is BEING GLIB and not engaging in a helpful interview style. He masks the content by redirecting the subject toward "mainstream Commercial Medical ideals"These Drugs are CREATING MENTAL ILLNESS NOT HELPING, I know because I finally got off the crap after over 10 years of Anti-depressants that just fucked up my life and goals, THANK GOD Someone is speaking Up about the serious damage these drugs do! WELBUTRIN gave me Migraines for the past 5 years and NO ONE could help me. NO MORE DRUGS!

Cruise's aggressive stance in this interview is what makes his points, however valid, fall on deaf ears. He says a lot of what he knows, yet never imparts any insight. I am no fan of psychiatry, but he should apply this term to himself: a pseudo intellectual. Can you say messiah complex? Lauer isn't being glib, he's being a journalist. Cruise serves no one with his attitude, which seems to be the common trait among scientologists: Belittle, obfuscate and not let anyone else speak.

I have to say though, as a person who has used adderall and ritalin with a history or ADHD and extensive research on ways to best treat it. Tom Cruise is 100% right. Please, open your mind to this. There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance, but an unbalanced brain is real. Do yourself a favor, don't hate tom cruise unless you've done the research. One Source, A book called a Magnificent Mind at Any Age by Daniel Amen. He's a NeuroScientist and has studied THOUSANDS of scans of the brain.

Stimulants can be helpful yes, I used to take 10mg adderal, guess what, it worked, I was soo concentrated, but had horrible mood swings and couldn't laugh naturally anymore. Sure it can work, but is it really "solving" the issue. ADHD is really the problem of an unbalanced brain, Taking specific supplements and eating healthy, along with exercise can make up for what the adderall can't, I now take only 5mg, exercise 3-5 times a week, & eat very healthy. I honestly can say I truly feel alive now.

I am not a scientologist, but agree with much of what they say with regards to psychotropic drugs, nutrition, exercise etc.When it comes to psychiatry I have seen quite a lot. And in my experience psychiatrists spends at least 50% of their time with patients producing mental illness rather than curing it.

Tom Cruise is a dangerous nut. I wouldn't pay a dime to see on of his movies. I'm so glad Nicole Kidman got out of that craziness and now has a good life. I feel sorry for TC's kids. Wow, what an arrogant a#*hole.
