There's a grain of truth in what he says, but his absolute manner leaves a lot unsaid.

Yes there are abuses. People are over prescribed. People are improperly prescribed. Other people are closely monitored for medication use for short periods of time, and they do benefit significantly.

I take my car in to get it fixed. The mechanic screws my car up. I don't swear that all mechanics are frauds and nobody should ever take their car to one of them again. That's what Cruise is doing with Psychiatry IMO.

I think it is a national scandal what is taking place with Ritalin in our nation. I'd like to see a massive investigation and a hell of a lot of people thrown in prison. That doesn't mean that some, a very few kids my have no other way of being helped. Boy do I want that very few documented and twenty workups done before they get it. And they should only get it for a short period of time, or stand another review process.

The problem Cruise has, is he is not a Psychologist. He does not hold a degree. I doubt he's taken more than Psych 101. That leaves him in a very poor position to talk with authority on this matter.

The problem with Scientology, is that it hides behind the misclassification that it is a religion. It's premises couldn't stand a review process. It's gadgetry is more like voodoo, and wholesome religions are tarnished by it's brash chicanery.

Look, even actual religions are subject to charlatans. From time to time they are investigated, actual crimes found and their leaders prosecuted. Jim and Tammy Fay being a couple of them.

I sure wish the hocus pocus parts of Scientology would be outed for the absolute fraud that they are.

What is it with these actors and their adiction to Scientology? Does it really take someone that stupid to buy into it?

Great post.

There have been rumors for years that Scientology gets info on it's members and then uses blackmail to control.

At this point, the guy is so "out there", it wouldn't matter if he had a Ph.D. The sad thing is, that he doesn't understand that he's turning into a joke. I wish I could have seen his interviews. The opinions range from hysterically funny, very sad, or downright scary.

I'm sure there will be someone telling us that this isn't news. It is always a public service to point out the dangers of joining a cult. I hope Katie Holmes' daddy puts a stop to all of this.

More than Psych 101? Try Dropped out of High School at 15.
