Remember when Tom Cruise become public enemy #1 back in the day for speaking out against over-medicating for conditions like post-partum depression?

He’s absolutely correct. I had to find out the hard way as did millions of others. It’s sounded off to me back in the day as well. Now it sounds spot on.

Over prescribing medications is dangerous.Doctors do get kickbacks too.

How many teenagers/young adult mass shooters were on prescription medication, many reports confirm every single one. Whether it was mental health or hormone blockers, there is still a common theme - big pharma

I remember! I agreed with him but damn he came across as arrogant AF. But, that's Hollywood.

One thing that impressed me is when Tom kept trying to convey to Matt that there’s a better way to help people to help the body. And there is and it helped me tremendously.

The problem is that Cruz’s beliefs are tied to a religion made up by a failed SciFi writer.

but you know they attacked him because they don't like his religion

My asthma doctor and OBGYN both started the antidepressant discussion with me “this is a bandaid for a problem.” There was nothing wrong with me. My doctors were right. I learned the hard way I was in an unhealthy relationship. I got help. I’m healthy today.

When you have big pharma pushing product and an insurance system to cover health care what do you expect. Doctors are given bonuses for promoting through prescriptions specific drugs, big pharma is Pablo escabar and doctors are the sellers on street corners.

Remember the backlash against Robert Deniro for mentioning his child was autistic and his wife had noticed the difference after the vaccines? Questioning medical tyranny can ruin your reputation and get you banned from platforms.

also, regarding Brooke shields, friends don’t let friends take Paxil 😬 horrible drug horrible!

I was in the U.S. in 2006 and 2007 as 19-year old Eastern European. Already back then it was obvious to me and my friends that ammounts of pills we’ve seen people carrying with them was somethig way off. America, wake up from your simulacrum!

Nora Volkow (great-granddaughter of Trotsky) has been in charge of our National Institute on Drug Abuse since 2003, and you’re just now catching on that there’s an issue with who’s managing our medication?! lol

Tom was / is right.

Yes he got into it with Brooke Shields.

Scientology rejects all medications for mental illness.

remember when people called ir a conspiracy theory that overmedication was a factor in mass shootings?

About time Can something be done instead of all this talking?

Tom cruise was speaking up early on

💯 the world owes the man an apologie as he was 1000% correct then.

Yep, I used to say if my back was itchy, they would call it itchy back syndrome just like restless leg syndrome, which I was prescribed a major strong psych drug for that and at the time was not aware that’s what it was.

Then Pharma injected billions into media and Hollywood and they all shut up and became sponsors of those medications

@TomCruise always been intense 😳

Yup! He was right! I wish I heard this interview back then! I probably would’ve tried to find something different than adderal for my son with adhd

Tom wasn’t taking about over medicating. He was advocating for no medication at all and was against psychiatry and the concept of mental illness

I had ppd and prescribed Zoloft and Xanax. Can’t say either drug worked. Xanax just made me tired but didn’t stop the panic that would come out of no where. Depression lasted roughly 1.5 years.

Visitors watching regular TV in an American hotel room are flabbergasted by Ads for medicines appearing interlaced with Ads from law firms asking you to join a law suit for taking some medicine in the past. It looks like prank-TV !!

💯

damn, tom back then is the goat
