No, that would make me as much of a jackass as Tom Cruise. |
I was j/k. No one is saying that you or Cruise should do xyz drug. Everyone reacts to drugs differently. But when Scientology and Cruise (their leading celebrity spokesman) brands the entire field psychology/psychiatry as pseudo science then thats just nonsensical. Just because anti-depressants aren't right for you doesn't mean they're no good for everyone else. Its not an all or nothing proposition based solely on your reaction. |

I've already stated in this thread that I'm highly impressed with the advances that have been made in the Psychological scene, but no one is going to change my mind about whether or not I think that prescriptions are necessary. I respect everyone's opinion though, and I hope that all these people that are defending the meds have had a good experience with them. After doing a study on them, however, with my Psych prof, and with my own personal experiences, I cannot say that I am for them. More props to those that it helps, I suppose, more power to those who like living like zombies.
I'm not saying that what Tom Cruise said was right, because I don't think that he was right about the whole field of psychiatry/psychology, I even said that previously as well. I simply agreed with the thought that many cases are misdiagnosed and that prescriptions harm more often than not rather than help. |

Psychiatric medications are just like any other medication. For some people, they just don't work. The human brain is far too complex for there to exist a "cure-all" that never fails. Is this reason enough to dismiss an empirical science? Anyone who answers "yes" to that question is blinded by their religious beliefs. Period.
It's funny how Tom Cruise spent much of the interview with Lauer talking about how aderol "masks the problem" instead of fixing it... because that's exactly what his scientology crap is doing to him. It's not helping him to open his eyes. On the contrary, it's causing him to narrow his focus down to those things that he is told to support and those things that he is told to refute.
And this, boys and girls, is why wwu.punisher doesn't go to church. |

Especially if it were a Catholic church, I can assure you... it would happen.
You'd be amazed what a Catholic college girl will do when she has enough Bacardi 151 and Jaegermeister in her system. |

Do you know what Aderol (PH) is? Do you know Ritalin? Do you know now that Ritalin is a street drug? Do you understand that?
No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history of aderol. I snort it. |

:stongue:
Religion can't hold an ember to alcohol. Even the deepest rooted Baptist becomes athiest.
No, I don't know. What can a Catholic college girl do when she has enough Bacardi 151 and Jaeger in her system? |
