... at the science of psychiatry!

Tom Cruise lambasted the Today show's Matt Lauer Thurs., 6/23 about the "dangers" of psychiatry and psychiatric drugs.
I think I'm in agreement that there is some over-medication, particularly with kids who are labeled as "hyperactive" or "attention deficit," however, I was very close to a kid once that was truly ADD and I noticed tremendous improvement in his performance in school at an age crucial to his learning to improve his reading and comprehension. Without the Ritilan, he very likely wouldn't have learned to read.
But back to Cruise. How does a guy that is involved with the cult of scientology (the cult that believes that humanity is haunted by the souls of long-dead aliens) have the gall to point a finger at an established discipline and not back up his assertions with facts. All he was apparently able and willing to say was, "you don't know the history of psychiatry, Matt, I do."
Maybe Tom Cruise, a high school dropout, had some close involvement with a head shrink as a kid. After all, he guy still thinks he can make everyone believe he's a heterosexual simply by proposing to a gorgeous chick.
By the way, here's an interesting article from a fringe "news" source that is critical of the NY Daily News article above: http://www.profindpages.com/news/2005/06/25/MN1004.htm
And a Washington Post article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/24/AR2005062401866.html
I don't post much, but read a lot of what's here. Even though the "Moscow" news article above is from a pretty much fringe source, I have to agree with its retort that the Daily News article uses "aliens" as a point of ridicule. I'm not definately not siding with Scientology on the alien souls thing, but it is interesting how so-called mainstream news sources like to use terms like "alien" as a means ridiculing someone.
