War of words ignites over anti-depressant use — Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Type: Press
Author(s): Mark Schwed
Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer
It was supposed to be a simple publicity tour for the movie "War of the Worlds," but it has turned into a war of words. The movie's star, Tom Cruise, has been on a crusade that has nothing to do with the movie and a lot to do with his religious beliefs in the Church of Scientology. First, Cruise publicly attacked Brooke Shields for taking the anti-depressant Paxil for postpartum depression. Then he went after "Today" anchor Matt Lauer for not ...

Source: New Zealand Herald
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has sharply criticised actor Tom Cruise for televised remarks in which he called psychiatry a "pseudo science" and disputed the value of anti-depressant drugs. "It is irresponsible for Mr Cruise to use his movie publicity tour to promote his own ideological views and deter people with mental illness from getting the care they need," APA President Dr Steven Sharfstein said in a statement. During interviews promoting his latest film, War of the Worlds, Cruise has discussed ...

Tom Cruise: Entertaining or Dangerous? — Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
Type: Opinion
Author(s): Harold S. Koplewicz
Source: Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
The interchange between Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer on the Today show was a premeditated attack on psychiatrically ill patients. While Mr. Cruise’s claims of expertise in the history of psychiatry were unchallenged, as physicians and psychiatrists we know the complex facts he distorted and the damage such glib untruths cause. Like all of medicine, psychiatric knowledge is far from perfect. However, despite side effects the discovery of antipsychotic medications helped free millions of patients from unrelenting hallucinations and from long ...

Type: Press
Source: St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
Gov. Jeb Bush vetoed a bill Thursday that would have required schools to inform parents about the possible repercussions of mental disorder diagnoses before referring students for mental evaluations. By attempting to color parents' perception, the bill "places the school between the parent and the medical professional," Bush said. The bill was backed by the Church of Scientology and sponsored by Rep. Gus Barreiro, R-Miami Beach and Sen. Victor Crist, R-Tampa.

Scientologists push mental health law — St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
Type: Press
Author(s): Alisa Ulferts
Source: St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
Opponents say the legislation takes advantage of lingering stigma and will deter parents from seeking help for their children. TALLAHASSEE - Legislation backed by an offshoot of the Church of Scientology aims to discourage public school students from seeking mental health services. The measure would require schools to tell parents that any mental health treatment would be part of a student's permanent record, which is true only in limited cases now. It also would require school officials to tell parents that ...
