Quote From: hepzibahYou didn't say exactly how he used his movie "as a way to put down Brooke Shields...".
Truth: He didn't use the movie as an opener to discuss the pseudo-science of psychiatry.
The information you received about chemical imbalance is wrong. The website you saw was most likely sponsored by a pharmaceutical company.
Truth: The "chemical imbalance" theory is just that, a theory. No test exists to support such a theory and there is no real conception of what a correct chemical balance would look like.
Look for the money trail to determine who's telling the truth. There's no monetary benefit for people like Tom Cruise, Drs. Thomas Szasz, Peter Breggin, Joseph Glenmullen, Bob Whitaker and Anne Blake Tracy. They speak the truth. On the otherhand, all the pharmaceuticals giants have been making a killing from selling drugs that don't work for diseases that don't exist. And if the truth is known about the dangers of these drugs, these pharma giants could lose billions.
I will be the bigger and better person here and say I agree to disagree with you.
I think Tom Cruise was wrong to even mention psychiatry while promoting a movie. I think I could say the same thing to you regarding your statement on theory's..
Talk to people who live with illnesses such as bipolar and schitzoprenia, try telling them they do not need to medicate to be able to function. If you have not lived with someone who has a mental illness it may be hard for you to grasp the fact that if medications, like everything else is taken in moderation and monitored they can be very useful.
Would you tell a diabetic not to give themselves an insulin shot? Probably not so why tell me not to medicate myself or my daughter?
Thank you for letting me see your opinion, that is what each of us are entitled to, it doesn't make you or I wrong.
