Our country is run by a moron that people say they like and admire. So, I think Cruise has the potential to be dangerous. While I have issues with how quickly those in political and business power are to medicate people $$$$, it is not a black and white issue. A while back, I made a personal choice not to use anti-depressants to cope with multiple deaths of loved ones and most people would have. I had a doctor and psychologist guiding me through the process. I can't say that my way was the right one. I was an extremely painful and difficult choice. Cruise advocates for no professional assistance as well as no drugs. Young fans who need help are likely to follow his que and get off their meds or stop therapy. I do not think that is the answer. I do not think these people are reactionaries. Die hard fans, young ones in particular seem very impressionable to me. Hopefully, he will continue with his antics and the admiration of those types of fans will diminish enough to cause them to think before they act.

First, Where did Tom Cruise get his medical degree? Second, are there really people who make medical and health decisions on the basis of the opinion of an actor? Yep Im a giggling both at Tom Cruise and the bevy of reactionaries who are calling him dangerous. For the record, I used antidepressants because I had various seratonin issues related to other body chemistry issues. It worked great. I got better and now I dont need them anymore. Had I not had them, I probably would not be here today. I also had a roommate who had a kid who needed ritalin. Without it he was dysfunctional in the extreme. With it he could actually go to school and function with the "normal" kids. he was miserable without it and well happy with it. Yep, for the record Tom Cruise is a moron.
