'Worlds' star: 'You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do' NEW YORK (AP) -- Let the cynics talk. Tom Cruise is in love -- and he just can't restrain himself.
"You know what? There's always cynics. There always has been. There always will be," said Cruise, who hasn't been shy about displaying his affection for "Batman Begins" actress Katie Holmes. "I have never worried ... about what other people think and what other people say."
Cruise, 42, and Holmes, 26, went public with their romance in April, smooching and posing for photographers in Rome. They recently became engaged.
Many have doubted the romance -- the words "publicity stunt" have rained down on the couple as Cruise has promoted his new film, "War of the Worlds," directed by Steven Spielberg, which opens on June 29.

I do agree that there are sometimes when, for a short time, drugs are helpful. Also, for some defined conditions ( manic/depressive, schizophrenia, etc.), long term drug therapy may be needed.
But, the over-prescription of drugs for ordinary sadness and stress is something that I think is particularly bad with women. Frequently, the prescription doesn't even come from a psychiatrist-- the treating shrink may be only a psychologist, while the prescribing doctor is her gynecologist. It's really a messed up system for messing women up, and it goes on for years-- often what should otherwise have been some of the best years of her life. It's irresponsible, and yet the women themselves don't see it that way-- they think the doctor is always right and that they really need the drugs. Like I said, it makes me angry.
Well he has the same mentality as her's I don't belive this is a adult love relationship, what they have in common is not career aspirations or sex IMHO it's about a giddiance and attention seeking Tom Cruise is getting so he can preach and have a forum for Scientology that he wants to ram down the country's throat he is there Poster Child.
Well, ever since that stay at the Holiday Inn Express.....
Because I have had bout's of Hormonal Imbalance which gave me a hosts of unbearable symptoms The Doctor wanted to put me on Prozac and Ambien for sleep I declined and found my own way in a natural and healthy sense to battle my condition, so the Pharmecutical Industry wasn''t able to make any money off of me!
"I do agree that there are sometimes when, for a short time, drugs are helpful. Also, for some defined conditions ( manic/depressive, schizophrenia, etc.), long term drug therapy may be needed."
True, but I believe that Scientology opposes even those.
I believe that only a psychiatrist should prescribe drugs, but how do you know that the psychologist or gynecologist in question may not have at least some psychiatric knowledge?
I remember Kids acting up in class when I was in school they were not medicated they were sent to the principals office and given a swat! somehow that kept them from acting up in the class.
Scientology is like a cult off shoot of AA or NA or CA
I have friends in these programs and they are so over the top they won't even take an aspirin cold medicine *NADA* because maybe that might lead them into Alcohol or Drug Addiction again..
Do you think there is such a thing as a hyperactive 6 year old?
What drugs are best for them?
What percentage of our children are candidates for these drugs?
10%, 30%, 80%?
ah....the swat! THAT worked wonders!
NO drugs for Hyperactivity get them into sports give them chores let them burn some energy they will quiet down, I will agree some kids have learning problems and that will make them disruptive, but if there is no problems they need constructive ways to burn up there energy.
A simple search of the web shows 5%.
It sure did nobody wanted to go the The VP's office as the swat was visible!
Thanks. Some opinions that I formed long ago remain, but the underpinnings have faded. Yes, Oliver Stone does explain a lot. If pressed I'd have probably recalled that he was involved. That guy is such a waste. Any movie he has ever worked on has turned to fecal matter.
Yeah, I'm going through that hormonal thing myself-- mine is sort of pre-menopause, so my cycle is a mess and I go through periods when I barely sleep. But I've just dealt with it so far by lowering my expectations of what I'll get accomplished during the day (my kids are soon to be all in college, so they need very little from me). I nap when I can, pray a lot, and yup, that glass or two of wine sure does help!
People will think you are scientotologists.
That's great Suzanne Somers really has something good in finding Bio-Identical Hormones, Doctor's have given women HRT, Provera which was Horse Urine they have screwed up Women's Health for so long it's amazing!
But hey we do have it mnade now, the life expectancy after women went through menopause in th 30's and 40's was like 10 years! Now women can have productive life way into there 70's and 80's...
Sounds a lot like my ex-wife. When she went from a light brown to a full blond, she also went full stupid! Left me and our 2 sons to screw around with some loser she met at work. 2 years later, he dies in a car wreck, and since then, she's been using her workplace as her own dating service, sleeping with anything that's male and walks upright without dragging it's knuckles....(Currently with a 28 year old guy, our sons are 24 and 20. They are not amused...)
