Actor Tom Cruise doesn’t approve of Brooke Shields’s method to get through postpartum depression after giving birth to her first child, daughter Rowan.
In Shields’s new book, Down Came the Rain, she admits to taking medication to cope with the depression.
Cruise had a small role in Shields’s movie Endless Love 24 years ago. In an interview with TV show Access Hollywood, Cruise said, “I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented women, but look at where has her career gone.”
Cruise’s religion, Scientology, does not approve of mind-altering medication of any kind. “When someone says medication has helped them, it is to cope, it didn't cure anything. There is no science. There is nothing that can cure them whatsoever.”
Cruise went on to say that women should "take vitamins and exercise" and that Shields was "irresponsible" for promoting anti-depressants.
Cruise also talked about Shields’s career: “Look, is she happy? Is she really happy?”

Scientology IS a mind altering drug.
And Battleship Earth was profound cinema. Just look pretty and enjoy your new..."girlfriend" Tom.
Tom cruise should finish drinking his cup of STFU and mind his own business.
Tom Cruise uses women and tosses them aside like garbage. I wonder what that has done for their self esteem? Didn't Nicole Kidman get so upset that she lost her baby, when he claimed it wasn't his? He is a hypocrite and a moron.
Wait! everyone is in agreement here. That can't be right. I KNOW there are supporters of Cruise's position on this issue. (Well, his position on psychiatry anyway, I wouldn't think there would be much support here for his other "positions.")
Yeah, Tom, I'm sure you know exactly what it's like to be a woman! Thanks for your expert advice, weenie man!
And who are you to talk about happiness.....you go through more women than a guy with diahrrea goes through rolls of toilet paper! Put a sock in it already!
There just aren't enough performers in car accidents these days…
If only more people would boycott movie "stars" who make assinine statements . . . .
Considering the analogy you just used, I'm not sure which end you want him to stuff the sock in... ;^)
I thought he was gonna say she was too butch.
(1) Iam all for natural methods of curing, butI am not going to tell someone else how to cure their problems.
(2)Off topic -- but does it bother anyone else that Tom's new sweetie looks like she should be his daughter rather than his girlfriend?
He can shove it up both ends as far as I'm concerned!
Never could understand why women go gaga over this guy - he's so full of himself, I think he's pathetic!
Never understood either. He's far too wimpy looking and skinny-mini for my taste.
I don't think Cruise would ever criticize a female for being "too butch."
or criticize a guy for being too effiminate either. . . .
Drugs aren't the enemy. When there are emergencies, they are very much necessary imho. Otherwise, I do believe in the natural route of herbs, vitamins and prayer.
