I hope you can sleep at night when women may be suffering because Tom said they shouldn't take anti depressants.
When Your walking in your shoes and have money to spare there isn't much to be depressed about now is there. When you open you mouth you need to take responsibilty for what comes out of it. Why Lord do you continue to dig a bigger and bigger hole? And by the way I think all Actors and anyone in the Entertainment industry is WAY over paid. Give it to the people who really have a noble helping profession like Teachers.
Tom,
For someone with scarcely a high school education you sure seem to know alot. Stick to reading what other people have written for you in your hack movies. Piss off and shut the FUCK up!
Tom-
This is all easy for you to say-your children are adopted, so you have never helped a wife deal with after baby blues. I hope for your sake you or a loved one never have a need for psychology.
well look at you lot, a drug dependant lot. Do you really know whats in them?.
You all can shut up. you are just like him then, Reducing yourselves to his level. lol. With all this "shut up" nonsense. The petition is a joke. How about you all shut up. and mind your business.
Shut up, Tom Cruise! His comments towards Brooke Shields were grossly misinformed and arrogant. If he was soooo concerned about Brooke Shields - why didn't he phone her and tell her so? Why did he tell ACCESS HOLLYWOOD?
Brooke Shields is a class act.
Good lord, why do you think we all want to hear your take on religion, your wonderful love life, and prescription medication? You have NO say so on how women should handle post-partum depression until you have given birth yourself and have felt what it is like to feel depressed and confused. When did you get your doctorate in that anyways? Be lucky you have not suffered like the MILLIONS before you that have. That many people aren't wrong and should just take vitamins. Give me a fucking break Tom! Have you ever heard of being over-publicized? Look out, it's happening to you right now. Remember Ben and Jen?
I will never again see another tom cruise film or have anything to do with anything he is associated with. How dare he speak about PPD. First, he has never been involved with anyone who has actually given birth to a child of his, and second until he is able to actually give birth he needs to keep his mouth shut! Money and power do not give you the right to lecture about subjects that you obviously have no real experience with. Not only will I sign this and any other petition created to get the point across, I will speak to any and all groups of men, women and children who will listen that getting whatever help you need is the right choice and that just because someone has been lucky enough to be elevated to a position of wealth and supposed influence does not make the intelligent or someone whos opinion should carry much weight. I'm with you all, SHUT UP TOM CRUISE!
Excuse me, the previous shocked viewer is a moron. Just because you didn't need drugs doesn't mean you go around saying no one needs them. You sound like you have about as much education as your hero, Tom. Which is none. If a person suffers from manic-depression or schizophrenia, vitamins and exercise don't stop the hallucinations you dingbat, drugs work. People are able to have lives. The whole problem here is with people who think that what worked for them can be generalized to the whole world. Go back to the adoring fan sites where you can idolize this pathetic, arrogant high school drop out and his religion (NOT) created by a megalomaniac and followed by pathetic people unable to think for themselves. And yeh, SHUT THE FUCK UP, TOM CRUISE!!
Tom, I tried the natural vitamins and I even tried eating a bats head and I am still bloody crazy but thanks for sending all your ex fans my way. Cheereeo
I can not believe the balls this man has!I will never watch another Tom Cruise film again. And as for the comment of us making jack asses out of ourselves, who has really made that mistake not us.Are you Katie Holmes? If not I don't understand why you care what we say about this man!!! Not a Tom Cruise fan no more.....So Bite me!!
Tom Cruise - Shame on you - You have no clue to the field of medicine and I pray that some poor woman does not listen to your misguided (severely) advice and end up killing herself or her child. I myself suffer from "chronic depression and if not for medication would be dead. I have a family member who is bi-polar and has tried to commit suicide at least twice. Its a disease just like diabetes - SHAME ON YOU, TOM! I will no longer be a patron to your movies and I hope that others will follow suit. I may not make much difference being one person but I will be sending this to everyone in my e-mail address book. God help you and anyone who is ill that listens to you. Sandi Back

does he have the biggest ego in the world? and didn't he drop out of high school. if he is so knowledgeable why the heck is he an actor of all things?

Tom may have said something stupid, but what has he really done. Has he really harmed you. They are just words. Ignore them. You are just making jackasses aout of yourselves with all those lame remarks. Like you havent said anything that pissed people off. We are all human. We make mistakes. Its not a perfect world. If it was, there would be no war, poverty, world debt. etc. He is allowed to speak his beliefs. Its up to us to not listen if we dont want to. Why make a big case over this. I have had mental problems myself, and you know what the meds made my condition worse. I stoped taking them and went the natural way, and i am fine now. Why put chemicals in your self to fight one thing but give you many side effects? Where is the help in that.
Anyway lay off Tom Cruise. And really look at your self, and see if you have made similar mistakes. I bet you have and are to anal to admit.
A Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning Fan.
And i am seein WOTW. :)
So Bite me. I am not signing this.
Personally, I think Cruise is right about psychotropic drugs; they ARE often given out far too easily and without sufficient research into the patient's background. But his condescending, holier-than-thou approach of, "I know everything and you know nothing" sucks and causes people to react badly.
Actually, his behaviour causes one to believe that he is a possible candidate for ritalin himself. That man needs to calm down, big time.
It's is about time he shut up. Over the years, it's been pretty obvious that his knowledge is pretty limited on most things. His opening his mouth recently, has only served to confirm this even more.INTELLECTUAL MIDGET, just about sums him up.
May Tom get his ass kicked by a new mom with PPD. He's an egotistical pipsqueak whos' chosen to deal wtih his midlife crisis in the public eye. What's next, him and Katie concieve on Dr Phil?!
Selfish media whore!
It is amazing that someone who is dyslexic can claim to have done so much research on a subject and is now more knowledgeable than the rest of society. He showed absolutely no respect for Matt Lauer during his interview. And, I am so tired of hearing about his 3rd attempt at marriage.
Tom, you've gone way past what might be considered an acceptable airing of your views. You have a responsiblity to your fans, and that responsibility includes neither giving them medical advice nor portraying yourself as someone who is in any way qualified to give medical advice. Frankly, the fact that you're this presumptuous when you didn't graduate from high school is frightening.
Tom, Tom, you're not only glib, you're narcissitic and self-promoting. What kind of so called "spiritual" person goes around bashing the beliefs and values of others. For a high school dropout, you are quite the authority on a number of topics. Listen, I respect your choices, you need to show the same respect for everyone else's choices. Will never spend another dime on one of your films.
When you have a medical degree- or any actual education- instead of just being part of a cult- perhaps then you can participate in an intelligent manner in a discussion of psychiatry and psychology. Someone who is on his third marriage seems to be clearly in need of some psychologcal intervention.
Come on people, Tom has done the research and is well informed. Oh by the way, Tom another one of your huge membership checks is due this week. Keep 'em coming :)
What a jackass, I would not be here today if it wasn't for Zoloft, I love my life now, I was absolutely misrable a few years ago. How dare Mr. Cruise presume to know more than my personal physician. And for God's sake leave Brooke Shields out of this, I still don't understand why you wanted to make this personal. So crawl back aboard the scientology space ship and keep your comments to yourself.
It's easy to say 'you should handle your post-partum depression better' when you can't get pregnant, mister. And let me just say that this self-reghteous SOB had cancer, you'd be sure and certain he'd be hooked up to an IV and not praying it away. Bullsh*t.
He's an insult to medicine, mental health and a danger to the human race.
I won't see his new film or anything further...no more from this degenerate.
I always had respect for the man as an actor, but this is the last straw. Not having ever been involved with a pregnant woman, the man seriously does not know what he is talking about. And I am sorry Katie may have to go thru the Scientologists way of dealing with post-partum if the marriage lasts that long. Brooke Shields will always have my support. She let women across the country know that they are not alone in dealing with issues of childbirth. I would have suffered needlessly if it weren't for the help from therapy and medications.
I cannot see myself putting any money down for WOTW. Sorry, Steven, if this hurts your film, but Tom's gone off the deep end this time.
i used to be a fan of tom before he started acting like a fool on oprah and marrying women 16 years his junior his recent spell on the today show set me off! TOM PLEASE SHUT UP!
I've always had a lot of respect for Tom Cruise as an actor and generally as a person, from what I'd seen of him. But the past few months have been insane. It's good to have opinions but those opinions should be well-founded by a lot of research and thought. It's also good for people to speak their minds, but not when they have no idea what they're talking about and especially when they're just passing judgement on others.
This would be why actors work from scipts. If there is no script to work from, they end up talking out their ass and not making sense to anybody about anything. Has anyone else caught the fact that women he becomes involved with magically convert to Scientology??? WTF is up with that?
You are the dreaded "know it all" who knows nothing. A high school drop out PUBLICLY passing judgement on the medical field? You are an idiot Mr. Cruise.
Tom has no right to force his opinions on the rest of the world. How dare he judge a woman for how she handles a situation that he will never go through? Katie Holmes better pull a runaway bride ASAP.
As a sufferer of life-long depression from a childhood of abuse, who has received considerable relief from anti-depressants, I do not appreciate these comments.
As always, it is the truly insane that do not believe that they need psychologists!
What an asshole. Freaky is one thing--uneducated, irresponsible, and condescending is something else altogether. I'll never spend another dollar on one this crackpot's movies.
What creeps me out is the "leash' he keeps around Katie's neck in the form of a Scientology "GUIDE". Wherever Katie is the watchdog is not far behind.. FREAKY if you ask me.. Say goodbye to your life as you know it Katie because from now on it is never going to be the same.
I, for one, would pay big money to be present at a televised debate between "Dr." Cruise and a couple of leading psychiatrists, psychologists, neuro-psychiatric researchers, plain old medical doctors, and a few dozen former PPD sufferers who have been helped by medication. Heck, he can take everyone on that 4-hour tour of the Scientology Brainwashing...oops, I mean, CELEBRITY, Centre in Hollywood and show us all that bogus "research" he keeps yapping about, but not elaborating. Yeah, that'll happen. NOT! Chickenshit, wussy, asshole can get all self-righteous with Matt Lauer and Brooke Shields, but I DARE him play hardball with the professionals. Which he is NOT. Hey! I'll give out the popcorn and soda!
Obviously, Tom, you aren't taking the medication you so desperately need - jumping up and down on other people's furniture at age 42 - so just take your lithium and shut your hole. As for your religion? Well, thanks, but, we're not drinking that Kool-Aid.
Tom, I'm glad that your opinion WORKS FOR YOU, but how dare you try to impose your judgments on others. Shame on you! When someone wants to know something from you, they'll ask. Until then, please keep your condescending and jerky attitude away from the world.
First, get some medical help. Then SHUT UP while you're under treatment. By the time you're healed, you can probably speak normally. But until then, keep your biased and blasphemous opinions to yourself.
ok Tom,
last time I heard... u have a penis... so how the hell would you know ANYTHING about ppd!!!! do every woman a favor and SHUT UP!!! Kt could do sooooo much better!!!!!
You think you know the history of psychiatry? Your ill-informed take on it could send many people who need the medicine and the counseling to their graves.
