Nov 17, 2009 - Yes drugs are very dangerous and they are mind altering, hence why psychologists and psychiatry at university learning how to treat people. You on the other hand were haven't learnt jack about it and you have to balls to tell others about it like you have a phd or a masters degree which you don't... what a joke you are tom...

humbledb4jesus Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - Tom should write a book called "Matt Lauer can suck it......again" and come back on....

eversmot Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Although everyone is entitled to their opinion, I would have to disagree with you, because my brother is bipolar, and without his medication he would be a mad man. He has no idea what the fuck he's talking about, it doesn't mask the problem, it suppresses the symptoms of of whatever the person has. Just because people abuse drugs on the street, doesn't make it wrong to take them for an illness you have, god TC is an ignorant fuck

eversmot Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - I'm so glad his career is going through a downfall because he's so brainwashed, everything he says seems like it was just drilled into his head, hence such defensive aggressive answers to Matt's questions which he doesn't know how to answer. Let people who went to school deal with these situations, nobody should listen to TC

Nov 20, 2009 - Tom Cruise knows nothing, he lectures matt laur on not knwing everything about pschiatry when he knows nothing, my dad suffered from deppression for years and still continues to fight. i know that if he didn"t take anti deppresants he may have ended up killing himself. fuck you tom cruise and fuck scientology.

Nov 22, 2009 - @Dexfan90 In nature you'll find Saint John's wort, which as you know a antidepressant. If antidepressants are evil, as this idiot asserts, why do you find them in nature? I'm glad that your dad found relief in medication, keep the fight and with your support it will become more manageable.

chinchonchinchon Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - @eversmot medication is obviously very important. Don't pay any attention to this idiot, Tom cruise... It is no good to become a fanatic,a religious fanatic. You must always be critical of weird ideas like the ones scientology, (a scam) promotes.

Nov 22, 2009 - Bipolar doesn't exist, just as no psychiatric ailments exist. He may have nutritional imbalance---or just a moral problem. Look, if psychiatry were real, any shrink could have bipolar, but they imply their degree gives them immunity. In REAL medicine, for example, gerontologists don't claim their degree immunizes them from aging. They once said women in pants were suffering from "permanent mental hallucination" NY Times May 27, 1876, p6 editorial "A Curious Disease" psych drugs are SO risky

Nov 23, 2009 - Buddy, rather than quoting old newspaper articles from the 19th Century, why don't you take a moment and learn about modern psychiatry. Just take the time to look up Kay Redfield Jamison. She's a psychologist and one of the world's leading experts on bipolar disorder. And wait for it... she has bipolar disorder herself. In fact in her book An Unquiet Mind, she talks about her own difficulties adhering to her medication and her struggles with the disease.

skirts365 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Why quote psych's earlier errors since it embarrasses them! Social conformity is not "health" individuality is not "disorder." If a man loses everything he's depressed; next day I give him $2 million, he's no longer depressed. His states of mind are no illness, disorder or disease, but NORMAL responses to adverse then positive conditions. The more behaviors these parasites can label "disorders" the more their income grows. Anything that moves--or doesn't move---could have "mental illness"

acs195 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Incorrect hypotheses have occurred in every field of science. Rigorous scientific testing leads to the corrections of these errors. Astronomers once believed in a heliocentric universe, should we now discount all of astronomy since they were wrong? Science's legitimacy lies in the modification of one's thought process as new evidence arises. Furthermore, your confusion between unhappiness and major depression disorder speaks to your own refusal/inability to learn with a rational, unbiased mind.

lekreppes Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - "U dont know the history of psychiatry, I do! " (besides attacking the interviewer, does knowing the history of psychiatry make u be an expert in psychiatry?) "U have 2 evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories Matt...where is the theory and science behind that, that justifies that" (the same question can be asked about CoS)

skirts365 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - YOU don't get it! What they said on women in pants in 1876 they're STILL saying in 2009 on men in skirts! As long as anything isn't a majority activity (majorities cannot be persecuted) they WILL label it so as to CONSTRAIN it! In 2009, Greeks, Albanians, Scots, Irish, Bhutanese, Maoris, Samoans, Hawaiians, Fijians, Tongans and Dervishes in over a dozen Arabic states wear SKIRTS. Not a sex diff not a "clinical psychosexual disorder." There isn't anything they've "defined" that isn't HOKEY

TemplarVision Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Tom RUDELY interrupts and talks over Matt when he asks intelligent questions that are difficult for Tom to answer. Then to make himself look like a bigger horse's ass, Tom has the temerity to proclaim that Lauer doesn't know what the's talking about the second they disagree. REAL Mature there, Cruise - What an asshole.

acs195 Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Your example about men in skirts is yet another misconception. 1)Clinical psychosexual disorder pertains to problems like impotence, premature ejaculation, or anorgasmy - not men wearing skirts. 2)Psychiatrists are taught to evaluate behavior based on local cultural customs. You are, I'm afraid, too caught up in your own misconceptions of psychiatry. I really should have realized I wasn't addressing legitimate concerns and was wasting my time. I'll leave you alone, but do some real research. K?

Nov 24, 2009 - Matt, matt, your glib.

an0nim0uz Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - @lekreppes: He doesn't know anything, just the crap his cult told him. Also, one of their main principles is "never defend, alsways attack".

skirts365 Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - No misconception! A man in a skirt is labeled "transvestite," psych opposes civil rights! Local cultural customs have no basis in healthy bodily functions. We are being senselessly told that to be individualistic is to be deviant. Deviant from what, from a bunch of robots. You just hoisted yourself on your own petard! You admitted they are there to enforce conformity! Doing exactly what a majority is doing is not "health," it is straightjacketing. Misconceptions are on YOUR part.

ZachClooney Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Jamison should spend a day with Cruise. I read An Unquiet Mind. It's all about "I" "I" and "I". Women like her needs to be on drugs! I'm with Tom. Jamison is someone who profited from her illness. Without her mental disorder, she would have been a nobody. Also, why is it that only the middle class white women who write books and moan about depression? Jamison had everything. Yet, she was nuts!
