@Mr. Me I can't claim to know much about what makes a good actor. I do tend to like Cruise's movies. Since they make so much money somebody must agree with me. I definitely find them much more fun to watch than the movies I have seen by guys like Keenu Reaves for instance. I didn't realize he is a good runner too. I have heard he does his own stunts. I saw his character in "The Firm" do a round off with multiple flip flops. It was pretty impressive. It looked like Cruise, and since he does his own stunts I imagine it was. I doubt a guy like Keenu Reaves or Christian Bale could do that.
Brutally funny. Although pardon me while I go to a special building to talk to an invisible entity whose son died two millenia ago for me, sorry, he's not just his son but also his father at the same time who was born without sex. Nothing crazy about that either!
ClassicAdden he’s not arguing that Manson is good he’s saying if such a crazy person like Charles Manson thinks Scientology is crazy then chances are it is
Christian Bale’s inspiration for his American Psycho character is Tom Cruise. He said something about his intense friendliness and the emptiness behind his eyes.
You misunderstood what he said apparently. Christian Bale spoke about how Tom Cruise was a "role model" for the character that he played in the film, which is base don Bret Easton Ellis's book of the same name. So, it was actually the author of "American Psycho" who made the connection between Patrick Bateman and Tom Cruise, who the former is inspired by.
He did do Chris Hardwick’s podcast back in 2014 to promote Edge of Tomorrow and was surprisingly very normal and seems to have a genuine passion for film
@@Rollingrock72 he did the same with kanye west...talking how insane he is and when kanye came on jre totally different story, this rogan guy is a sellout bitch
I agree with Tom Cruise, when I was seeking counseling for childhood abuse, the therapist said " I cant treat you, unless your willing to take drugs" I said I dont want to mask the symptoms, I want to understand why?? I sought out another counselor and was able to figure things out, without drugs.
@Major Problems Everbody is different it is just as wrong for you to say everybody needs medication along with therapy, ad second of all scientists and doctors do not truly understand the brain, mind connection and much as you think you do, you don’t know.
Psychiatrists are required to prescribe that's their main goal. It took me multiple times to find the right doc. Meds help the people who really need it where the benefits outweigh the possible side effects. You can totally heal without meds though when it comes to mending the past.
I went to a psychiatrist once when I was 15 because I thought I had ADHD and after one question he put me on antidepressants. It was a really generic question too. After one month of using them I realized they made me depressed and I stopped and I've been fine ever since.
I met Tom cruise once, he was filming 'the last samurai' in my home town of New Plymouth. One afternoon I was out fishing at the beach not far from where he was staying. He came out to me and asked if I had caught anything and we talked about 30min I didn't realise it was him till he left then it clicked. He was a very nice person.
The guy on the show was a big pharma PR rep, it was pretty obvious. He made a crack about prescribing up to 30%, then laughed about it. They make money off more prescriptions, it's a racket. They also referenced that it's close to as addictive as meth, which it is. They are literally prescribing meth to children. Then when they have life long drug addictions, they get blamed for it... The US is a nasty country.
@like where Tom is proof you do not need drugs to reprogram your brain. You can rewrite the narrative your lizard brain writes for you bc it's trying to keep you safe bc that's its job, but we can decide for ourselves to step outside of instinctual programming and rewrite our story. That is why doing what he's doing inside an industry that writes narrative elevates irony to the level of art. He is literally rewriting the human journey (hero with a thousand faces/Joseph Campbell/Christopher Vogler's work)...his own while inside an industry that...writes narrative and produces art. Choosing to remove "no" and "can't" from your vocabulary will change your life. Tom is in control of his individual NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). We need to learn that function on a personal level before we can rewrite humanity's role in our current physical existence.
He’s right about antidepressants masking the problem, rather than solving them. That’s 100% how I felt during the one year I was on antidepressants. 9/20/2022 Revision - When it comes to battling depression, medication is only the start. The idea that antidepressants will solve your problems is ridiculous. They are meant to help get the symptoms of depression under control, so you can function and begin the real work that it takes to over come your depression. Too many people are content with taking them just to “numb” or “mask” the effects of their depression. Acting like it’s just another modern quick fix, with no attempt to actively work on identifying and changing the factors of their reality that are at the root of their depression. That’s why antidepressants have become the current “opiate of the masses”. No magic pill is capable of solving these problems for you, and it’s naive to think it could.
@Scott Donnelly Like everything, it works for some and doesn't for others. I will agree that it doesn't necessarily "solve" depression but it definitely makes it much more manageable. Also the growing amount of medications with slightly different barriers of activation and purpose only prolong and exacerbate the issue for many people. I've tried meds that made it worse, did nothing, or helped tremendously. It's something people will never unanimously agree on due to the inherent subjectivity of the topic.
It depends on the individual. Some individuals have chemical imbalances where they are in such a dark place that they cannot begin actual mental health treatment without first reaching a more balanced 'chemical' state.
Tom cruise is 1000% right on this. And mad respect to him for having the balls to stand up in the way he did to speak against these horrible pharmaceuticals. I would have done the same, with the same vigor and seriousness as he did. I don’t know much about Tom Cruise. Nor do I really give a flying *#@$ about celebrities. But I appreciate honesty and this interview shows integrity.
I have been on antipsychotics. I will NEVER do it AGAIN! EVER! If you want to not be a human being and want to feel that you have no feelings, no passion, no connection to yourself...take these crazy SSRI drugs! I don't know anyone that they truly helped! They only mask symptoms. I will never allow myself to feel that dead inside again. I"d rather be dead than take a SSRI.
Indiya, I'm sorry to disappoint you but, contrary to what he claims, Tom Cruise has not done "the research" on psychiatric medications. And he knows next to nothing about the field of psychiatry. During the interview (with Matt Lauer) he said that there was no such thing as a "chemical imbalance" in the brain. He's wrong. It is a scientific fact that SSRI's are highly effective in the treatment of Bi-Polar and other psychiatric disorders. I should know. I've suffered from Bi-Polar II since I was in my late twenties and I can tell you from first hand experience, that life without my medications is an absolute nightmare. Truth be told, these meds have saved my life.
1000% eh. Talk about hyperbolic. I’d venture to guess your a star struck minion and/or a Scientologist. At least I’m honest enough to mention I’m guessing but you are 1000% sure
Tom stopped by my cousin's house. He was there as she was dying of cancer and he made the effort to swing by for lunch. He was not trying to sell anything and was genuinely concerned, he knew the names of her kids and it was a very surreal time. He was a gentleman who gave a moment of his time to help another.
I met Tom Cruise. We were coming back from visiting family on the east coast, we live in Malibu. On the way back we stopped at this local spot for food and we saw him there. He had so many people around him but it was Tom cruise so of course I had to try and get a picture with him. When I walked up, we locked eyes, and something stirred within me. He got up and walked towards me and grabbed me by my shoulders. This crazed look on his face. He leans forward and whispers in my ear, “I remember”. Suddenly I’m thrown into a flashback. I’m seeing my entire life as if it’s a single moment. Tom Cruise pulling me from my mothers womb. Tom Cruise driving the school bus. Tom Cruise is my dad. I wake up. I’m in a hospital. I had no idea what happened. I yell for a doctor. I couldn’t hear anything at first, but then I heard hurried footsteps outside the door. When the door opens, Tom Cruise is standing in front of me in a white coat. There was a little mirror to the left. I looked into it….I am Tom Cruise.
@Venom I mean, no one should have one, but scientology is a modern day money makeing religion, sipohning hundreds of thousands if not millions from people, or enlist them in their 'military' Seaorg' ship bullshit
@@SalthoTheNecro Adding to your comment on the tax haven that Ronnie Hubbard made up which he staffed with zealots on less than minimum wage, at least the older cults made their magic guy in the sky mystical and beyond comprehension, not some inter-galactic refugee named Xenu and there's hydrogen bombs being thrown around 75 million years ago , the same level of technology that was around when he started making this crap up.... Tax dodges should be means tested , that would sink Tom and his wackos and hit the catholics in the groin at the same time, they are both total fiction designed to rip off vulnerable or confused people.
being brainwashed by a cult has nothing to do with being crazy; it has to do with a lack of self esteem and being troubled deeply. TC is a very intense and highly sensitive and affected person and that's why he was sucked in. No different than kids that get caught up in gangs.
@Ab Cd Christianity is just as ridiculous as scientology. It's just widely accepted. Tom Cruise is no crazier than a classic american christian. Just that Tom is a very smart, deep and charismatic guy making him seem crazier
Used to work in the movies industry and let me tell you, Tom is GREAT. Very professional, always on time and he's nice to everyone on set, unlike most celebrities that are primadonnas and are nowhere near the status of Tom. He may be have his scientology thing going on but he never pushed that on anyone. Tom is solid, great guy.
Slight Return You’d think they would want to clear their name by having someone so high up in their ‘ church’ speak on their behalf but they are too busy obsessively harassing and writing ‘response letters’ what a fucking weird deal that Scientology is
But Tom would not like that Joe controls the show, and after all Joe is a "suppressive person." Don't forget that Scientology is a fake theology based on totalitarianism.
No. No he didn’t! I would be in terrible strife without my psych meds. TC knows NOTHING. He doesn’t know what he is talking about. He should stick to scripts and not try to make it up as he goes along. He’s totally ignorant and is just sprouting Scientology speak. And he is a terrible actor, and a nut case! He should be on meds!!!
Gangleri - and most Scientologist are self absorbed and simple minded. Their leaders, just like the underlying beliefs, are corrupted, ignorant, and sociopathic.
I agree. And I'm a fuckin NUT. I don't trust big pharm. I think that maybe it helps some schizos. But for general depression, anxiety... I have to work out my own shit. I ain't gonna take psychiatric drugs.
That was quite an efficient description and the hilarity level was above par. It was so good that it didnt even register in most of the peoples conscious minds.
@@sped1220 Shame, I think we could struggle on. What would you like it to be called? I have an idea. Congregate. Reflect. Act. Pray. It's very directive! Just what we need and easy to remember!
Coffee & Comics --- Psychiatry is quackery. They cannot prove a damn thing. And if I hadn't urged my husband to 'get help' for his depression, he's still be alive.
Recently heard about this book for example. Haven't read it yet. Cracked: Why Psychiatry is Doing More Harm Than Good by James Davies Controversial and powerful - a shocking indictment of the pseudo-science at the heart of modern psychiatry. One in four people in the UK and US will develop a mental disorder in any given year. That’s what psychiatry tells us. But many - even most - will not actually be mentally ill. Thanks to pseudo-science and corporate greed, psychiatry is letting us down. Why is psychiatry such big business? Why are so many psychiatric drugs prescribed - 47 million antidepressant prescriptions in the UK alone each year - and why, without solid scientific justification, has the number of mental disorders risen from 106 in 1952 to 374 today? The everyday sufferings and setbacks of life are now ‘medicalised’ into illnesses that require treatment - usually with highly profitable drugs. Psychological therapist James Davies uses his insider knowledge to illustrate for a general readership how psychiatry has put riches and medical status above patients’ well-being. The charge sheet is damning: negative drug trials routinely buried; antidepressants that work no better than placebos; research regularly manipulated to produce positive results; doctors, seduced by huge pharmaceutical rewards, creating more disorders and prescribing more pills; and ethical, scientific and treatment flaws unscrupulously concealed by mass-marketing. Cracked reveals for the first time the true human cost of an industry that, in the name of helping others, has actually been helping itself.
Ok but Tom Cruise cliff-jumping off a motorcycle into a sky dive for 30x takes at age 60… I mean, bro is living an elevated existence. He’s doing something right, to say the least.
You know, I have a hard time believing all that stuff. We've had the tech to make it look like he's doing all these stunts for the longest time, you just take a disposable stuntman with similar body type and CGI Cruise's face on top. They wouldn't want to risk a 100 million dollar production just because their star wants to do all the stunts himself. The investors and insurance companies would most definitely not approve. It's all just marketing to sell Cruise.
Compared to 30 or 20 years ago, the amount of drugs prescribed to adults and children is crazy. What Joe said about the classroom, is so true. My son has ADHD, lots of energy, very smart and sweet. I love him just the way he is. Sadly, the education systems do not want kids that dont fit in their box. Of course they try and push me to medicate him. His self esteem is way down from all the negatively from teachers, principles, school staff. He has had one or two teachers that were fantastic, they became a teacher for the right reasons. He did great in thier classes. Kind regards.
Adderall is as addictive as meth do not by any means drug him because medicate is a stupid word for it. It's pure pleasure and euphoria to override temporary boredom and it's never worth it
im the same way the schools tried and tried to get my parents to put me on that dumb drug and now that im old enough im so glad they never did and he will to
My childhood sucked with all the drugs my parents put me on, I was instantly stigmatized by my family. It created life long struggles and almost destroyed me. Think about that when kids grow up in a mess they likely will never understand. Wish my mother knew better, I used to have a heart with pain I never felt. I am not kidding, I am a prodigy with a very intelligent mind, I know I'm smarter than everybody in the room and frown upon their ignorance. People are copycats and don't possess the awareness I have granted I'm not alone
I agree with Tom on the meds thing. I was diagnosed with manic depression at age 7, given meds and they changed all the time. I was never stable, always in a fog, and felt sick to my stomach all the time. I haven’t been on anything for two years now. I have never seeing or thought more clearly in my life.
I trust that you never need to use Pharmaceuticals again, in your life . Watch for prescriptions with HCL , at the end - it's extra hydrochloride salts , same as the acid in your stomach - these salts , help generate future profits for big pharma . Go with Holistic Medicine & Practices , they rearely have any sort of side effects . I've had a lifelong problems with every prescription , or bit of synthetic clothing item . The flu vaccine , is an undeclared medical experiment , just like COVID , which I trust you won't get , or should that have happened , your recovery was swift , with minimal discomfort . Namaste 🙏👍❤️
Tom Cruise is parroting Hubbard's hatred of psychiatrists. We know that psychiatry has struggled with successes and failures trying to help people overcome depression and mental illness. If Tom was honest he would also be willing to discuss the abuse of Sea Org members by Hubbard and Miscarriage instead of lying and denying. But he won't.
Also I don’t know for fact but I heard or watched a video about how Ron Hubbard was on a lot of medication. A man went into his hotel room to check on him because he did not look well and I believe it said “I seen over thousands of drugs including depression pills and psychiatric medications ”
& if you watch Ron Hubbard videos of him speaking I’m sorry if it me but you does not make any sense he beats around the bush so bad. And then lied in a interview about him being married he was married 3 times and said his first wife died and he has a lovely wife now and then send he has never had a second wife. His was aboard the boat of the sea org running from Britain for tax invasion. It’s in black and white.
Cruise has attained a level of success in his career that has lasted over 4 decades - his most recent film the sequel to TOP GUN made a fortune, so much money that it indicated that folks were seeing it more then once in theaters -- he does not drink, take drugs, has never been in trouble with the law - he has a need for Scientology in his life and it works for him - it is his personal life journey - so i admire Tom Cruise for challenging himself - he is not crazy
@@redwemette5942 pal -- worry about crooked incompetent president biden and his crime family, woke liberal pro crime senators and congress men and women --
So true. The guy is in a league of his own. It makes other jealous and certainly few people can really understand what he has accomplished and the joy he takes in his craft and life.
Just my experience ...met him a few times here in Rome, the nicest guy ever. Stops to chat with fans ,always humble and friendly and his eyes were never empty.
He’s had some bad press. Looked kooky in some interviews but everyone he works with has nothing but great things to say about him. Most of Hollywood think kids should pick their gender and somehow Tom Cruise is still the crazy one?
I was just standing here.. and Tom Cruise and John Travolta locked themselves in the closet.... so I pull out my gun!!! Please someone tell Tom Cruise and John Travolta to come out or I’m gonna shoot someone!!!
Yes, but if you’re in really bad shape, therapy and medication together do wonders. It’s so easy for people to talk about it when they haven’t been through it either. He also didn’t research as much as he thought if he thinks antipsychotics ≠ anxiolytics and antidepressants. Not even the same class of drug.
@@remotefaith that's not what I said... You're interpretation isn't accurate at all. Drugs very often just mask symptoms, while ignoring underlying causes. There is a huge difference. And chemo is a terrible example. It's the opposite. People don't "feel" better on chemo lol - they often feel much worse (worsens perceived symptoms), while it fights the underlying pathological cause.
Tom Cruise while nutty also seems like a decent guy, and I'm with him on the overuse of psychiatric pharmaceuticals, but for the love of God he needs to get away from Scientology.
@@kjph7438 You really only have to google the religion. Or Lisa Mcpherson, Operation Snow White, etc. This is what they've done with less than a century of operation and a paucity of followers. If they had more adherents they absolutely would be starting wars, believe me.

@@lilchaos4792 Oh you can speak on him because you met him once, but we can’t have an opinion based on his weirdness in interviews throughout the years? Ok.
That story that he said about Tom running up and down the theater feels to me like he was experiencing the same stress as this guy - but that was Tom's way of coping with it. "I'm going to get my energy so worked up - so much higher than anyone here - that I'll be totally above the situation."
@@slashkokane Yeah, someone being happy and excited because they're in a room of fans that love them and people who want to talk to him is so weird. He must be high. Nobody could ever be excited about that naturally.
Tom was right. I was a kid on those drugs. Concerta...vivance.... I hated it and in high school I told my parents I didn't want to take it anymore and refused to. Lucky for me they didn't fight me on it. I was tired of being a zombie and my friends at school wondering if I was ok... again. Tom was 100% right
@@npvuvuzela i felt better in general. I also learned that as I got older it was easier to control my "ADHD". I guess you can say I grew out of it or... I was a normal boy who just needed to let his energy out. When I was on it I couldn't sleep if I took it too late and I wouldn't eat. I felt sick when eating. At home id just sit on my bed and think of random stuff. I wouldn't want to play games or talk. No joking. No fun. Honestly it was depressing as hell. So once I decided to get off it was a total 180. I did fine passing school even if it was getting c and ds lol went to college. Did fine in life. Wish I was never on all those meds.
I nannied for an 11 year old about 15 years ago. His mom would tell me to watch him take his ADHD pill in the morning to make sure he takes it (“sometimes I find it in his pockets in the laundry”, she said). God help me, I did no such thing. The kid was shuffled to basketball practice at private school at 5am, then to before-school tutoring, then debate team, then after-school tutoring. That’s not ADHD that is is overworked. I am not a childcare professional FYI. Was just a nanny gig when I was young. I can only imagine what actual childcare professionals deal with in parenting.
Anybody who's had to stand up and pull someone out of something you know is harmful and is still accused of being controlling and arrogant will know why Tom was having that conversation with such seriousness. Dude was actually talking sense.
I don't follow. The first part of your sentence sounds like taking someone out of a cult like scientology where they feed on making you an addict on their word so you will let yourself be jailed, removed from your family, deprived of basic health care. Tom is quite disturbingly intense in his saying what is and what is your enemy. Someone like him is so successful because they so sincerely believe the crap because he has had custom plane hangars and motorcycles hand built for him for free because he can mind control you with his manic intensity and success. Whoever figures anyone who has got filthy rich off of being a star in Hollywood should be listened to - well maybe they got sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein and were in a movie once. It is so absolutely bizarre to me that people think out of touch celebrities should be listened to about anything except sheer interest. Gary Busey and Rick James were big into cocaine during the height of their fame. Anyone out there who thought I don't care what all you 'doctors' who 'are have degrees from training themselves in the human body and how it works and how to treat it' - cocaine is working out pretty good both for a white actor and a black singer. I'm going with cocaine doc. Next time your power goes out I hope you find out what Tom advises on circuitry issues instead of some big corp lackey they say is an expert in wiring. What would Tom do? Your baby is dying of a serious infection. Hmmm Tom isn't into all those 'pharma poison'. Let's just see if owning yourself and your power and not letting others take your power back by selling yourself to the pathetic ramblings of a deluded fraud who likes to pretend he's got a navy and secrets about pods of aliens in an old war or something - not sure if it was around the time of the dinosaurs? helps clear that infection up. If you are an insanely wealthy movie star who has the sociopathic leader of a bizarre cult bend the world and use enslaved people to make you custom boats for a place to sleep on the floor and some rice and strict thought control and have people who would pay to eat your garbage, in a shiny warm sea of opulence and delusions of grandeur, then ya, Tom seems to be the sort of guy to go to for advice. He gives zero shits about one of his own kids. Scientology could be building sustainable housing and infrastructure in underserved communities. But then was $10 million really enough for him to star in that movie? Wouldn't it be better if he had nicer things that made him think there were no bad places or illnesses because all he has to do is be Tom Cruise? There are dictators in Africa that don't so blatantly fuck over the poor. This world is so fucked up.
@@carlyrivers8868 this was way too long, but from what I could understand is that you've taken me as someone who worships Tom. I don't. I just have been in the same situation and this is how I reacted. People did think of me to be too arrogant to listen to anyone else, but the truth is I had been through the same ordeal and was trying very hard to save someone I genuinely care about. As far as Tom is concerned, I bet he's nothing to write home about. Celebrities rarely are. All I was saying is I understand why he's being so defensive.
@@HamzaFaruqui As someone who has a decent enough understanding of Scientology I can tell you this. The reason why Tom is being so defensive has to do with his involvement with Scientology. His intense behaviour is a result of hours upon hours of their training exercises called TRs (training routines) and founder L Ron Hubbard's dislike of psychiatry and psychology who for the sake of profit made up his own alternative in Dianetics. Tom's understanding of what is good for other people is based on Scientology, and he has reached their highest level. No matter what someone claims medicine has done for them, he's not interested. Scientology will always have the final word, they are the "experts". To put it simple, he's brainwashed.
If that's the best quote ever I've been saying that since I was 8 years old. I guess I come up with the best quotes ever. Not. Many people have said this that have a half an intelligent mind
I was a teacher, I found those who disrupted the class most often were just bored. I always tried to find assignments that were on topic but much more difficult. I loved watching them flourish with a challenge. I've also seen real ADHD. I agree it's about 4%. Most don't need it, they need real intellectual stimulation
@@Yimello Regardless of Tom Cruise' "religious" beliefs (which are ridiculous as are all religions)....Hes 100% correct!....Its just easier to label anyone challenging the status quo as "CRAZY"!
For the most part ur right. I really wouldn't disrupt the class in a disrespectful way ...I'd follow what was going on n at the right time just when my teacher was positive that I wasn't paying attention I'd throw out something in a comedic way about what was being discussed. Like disrupting the class n just as the teachers gonna get passed they realize that not only have I been paying attention but I've obviously studied the subject(s) before which sorta irritates them even more lol.
I doubt Joe Rogan would agree to a list of topics they can and the ones they can't discuss. Scientology keeps Tom Cruise as shielded as possible from dissenting opinions; all of his staff, managers and lawyers are Scientologists, some of which have the mission to report everything about Tom to Scientology leader David Miscavige.
@@Freedom_is_essential1 Don't count? Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is a man forever and God. Right? Tom Cruise was scarred as a child about God. Someone didn't represent God right to him.. I think he talked about his experience as a kid.
So true. His passion is fun to watch. He said he watches a movie every day. When he was in Taps, he started with a lesser role, then given a better one. He would go hang with the crew to see how they did their trades and learned how it all worked. He enjoys it so much. He also is good at letting others shine, and helping them to do so. Just watch him on Leno with the Fruitcake Lady teaching them to make fruitcake. Great fun.
Tom Cruise has been a movie star since he was 20, been a millionaire since he was 22, a Scientologist, World Famous for 80% of his life, and a lost his wife to Jamie Foxx. Hell yeah he’s crazy.
I thank its a colt but who knows. I just read things from people that has gotten out and they like stalk you and all kinds of weird things. that's crazy
Both Tom and Matt are correct in that anti-psychotics and antidepressants were the drugs of choice for many family physicians and psychiatrists to treat related diagnoses in children (especially). (Akin to our present opioid epidemic, these types of drugs were over-prescribed.) The main issues I have with this is (1) what type of actual medical testing and assessments were performed in order to properly diagnose these type of conditions for which these drugs were prescribed to "treat" and (2) were these drugs the only remedy prescribed (i.e., the only and a permanent solution) to provide patients and families with the level of hope and comfort they sought and needed. I cannot recall how many times I have heard, read, or seen how young children, teens, and young adults were prescribed these types of drugs based solely on subjective data (e.g., common symptoms of these types of disorders). I know parents are desperate to help their children, but this emotional sensitivity should only move medical professionals towards an investigation of the actual cause(s) instead of masking the issue with drugs. In some, if not more often than not, of these cases, the patient is too young to even diagnose. The other issue is what are the long term effects of these drugs especially when first given to patients who are young who would otherwise grow out it or learn to cope given the right psychological, social, nutritional, and spiritual support. I am not saying that some people do not benefit from these type of drugs, however, were all these other aforementioned aspects of the patient's life first considered, not to mention all the necessary testing to correctly diagnose these conditions? Moreover, are some of these aspects integrated along with prescription medication as part of the treatment? Who knows, the prognosis involving drugs as a lifelong answer to attain some level of normalcy may turn out to be only temporary...
If you haven’t dealt with something like Treatment Resistant Major Depression you don't k ow why people need medication. I've been dealing with this since my diagnosis 14 years ago, and I promise you that it not only saved my life but improved it tremendously. I should have been diagnosed with major Depressive Disorder when I was just a child but because people in the 70's and 80's thought kids couldn't have Psychological problems it was left untreated. I was at the top of my career at 32 when my world literally and figuratively fell apart. It caused a neurological disorder on top of the already crazy things that happened, things that if treated earlier could have been mitigated. Instead I literally lost 5 years of my life that I can't remember, lost most of my family and friends because they couldn't understand or cope and lost my career that I worked myself halfway too death for. So, if you think you have something too say about Psychiatric Treatment, just shut your mouth, walk the past 14 years in the shoes of someone who lost everything and let's hear what you say then.
I think Tom is right (and I am not a Scientologist) and I am a therapist. Why wouldn't people get depressed and anxious living in this world. I believe the the SSRIs and stimulants do mask the real issues, people need a revolution in their own lives, then need to give up dysfunctional family loyalties, learn to love have compassion for themselves, "reparent" themselves.... society needs to change in big sweeping ways, and people need real existential answers that give meaning to life, then they will be getting to the real issues.
With regards to drug therapy...Cruise is absolutely correct. Beginning in the 1950s with 'mothers little helper' to the 1980s 'childrens little helper' forwards to the 'populations little helpers' we, as a culture, have transferred our mental health and the mental health of our loved ones to a unproven and unsubstantiated 'prescription' of/for what has been deemed normalcy .
We're born into madness, anything that gets you through this crazy thing called life, I say take it, just to ease the pain....... I worry about people who go through life being straight, they're the problem lol.
Agree. I have withdrawn from society to clear my head, figure myself out, and realize my calling in life. From this third party perspective, it’s quite obvious people in general are far more narcissistic and vane than they ever were before, and it’s a trend that correlates with the invention of social media, and everyone’s willingness to take it in their a** through their phones. I also feel that true quality sells itself without any gimmicks or sales pitches, and reality will once again sell out to the public when this fad is over, possibly warned against by the surgeon general…
Yes I think you are right. Medication is the easy way out, when people are trapped in a system they can't get out of. On the other hand, some things are hard to fix with no meds. I've had severe insomnia for years. Even if you work really hard on the real causes that takes time, and you don't have that time, because the lack of sleep wrecks your body and brain before you get to the point its working again with all the no med ways. So sometimes as a temporary solution they are really the only option.
Nah nah nah...psychiatric drugs are the best good for the most people. I'd answered my questions about my place in the universe and conquered my existential dread and the horror of facing meaningless existence. I got to the bottom of my identity and discovered my truths and formed a coherent sense of purpose and ethics that was based on compassion and empathy... but I still didn't know what day of the week it was half the time and would lose everything important to me and couldn't motivate myself to do the most basic shit. And then I got some Vyvanse and Adderall and now I live a productive happy life and 90% of the struggle of just existing in my own head is eliminated from my daily list of shit to deal with. Drugs are good when properly prescribed.
I "Think" Lea Remini said (In an interview) that Tom Cruise gets treated like royalty because everyone keeps telling him that he will be single handedly saving the world,,,I get the feeling that he truly believes in all that diatribe.
TOTALLY agree with you. He has been so brainwashed to think he is special and looks at himself almost like a jesus. In a way you can't blame him, id probably do the same getting my ass kissed all day long, both in Hollywood and his silly church slaves. I don't think he has any mental health issues .he's just loving the rimming 😙
Abir Bin Habib well, when the movie company pays for a lot of “Yes People” kissing up to Tom Cruise for all these years, just a matter of time before he gets caught up in it - as much as Tom Cruise is a good actor and makes the movie companies a LOT of money - the guy is bat shit crazy, and yes, I think he truly believes in all that crap
Being right about something does not mean you can't be crazy, just like being wrong does not mean you are crazy ((c) Greg. House). He is probably referring to the fact that Tom Cruise is quite eccentric as well as how he was acting in that particular interview.
@Honest Person they might be thinking he sounded crazy when Tom tries to generalize the use of psychiatric medication as just masking the problem. Yes, there are side effects in the medications, however, Tom cannot rule out the fact that the meds are helping people to recover, like for people who have Schizophrenia, as an example. As far as I can tell, he's basically saying that these medications should not be used in general. I think you can try watching the full clip of this interview with Tom Cruise, so it is easier to understand the story behind it.
lol "Actually right" people are so naive is hilarious, if you cant find anything wrong with his statements I pray there is few people like you in this world
yeah of course there are people that depend on it and they'd kill themselves if they didn't have any of those drugs..but he is not wrong with some things he said. it really does just mask the problems and it doesn't deal with the source of the issues most of the time and a lot of people just get drugged because nobody wants to deal with really helping them. besides this those pills have some strong side effects sometimes and if you put the wrong person on those drugs it could get worse than it already was.
What he said may have been true but he was avoiding a solid part of the question yes alot of meds are abused but those are commonly adhd meds and opioids so yeah we can go with that but as for the anxiety, depression, schizophrenic, multiple personality disorder, and so on those people NEED there meds for a level and if people wanna argue that then I really hope they don't fucking breed because we have enough stupid out here as is.
@Gideon U Sounds like you know hardly, if any, health professionals. You're making the same mistake as Tom Cruise in this video; thinking every single individual is the same and one solution fits all. "Black and white are all I see in my infancy. Red and yellow then came to me, reaching out to me, let's me see." - Maynard James Keenan, Lateralus album. May you not be so closed minded in the future.
Not entirely true. Certainly for some people, but certain medications allow specific people to work through psychiatric problems. The thing about psychiatry is that it's nowhere near an exact science. For example: gravity affects everyone the same way on planet earth. But xanax? It has wildly varying effects to the human population, much like every single drug on the face of the planet. But this isn't to say psychiatry doesn't have it's uses. I have experienced firsthand, and saw in my group of friends, that psychiatry when practiced by however you define "competent" does a world of good. It allows you to learn coping skills and to better deal with emotions that certain individuals aren't fully equipped to deal with on their own.
Andrew Pillion ~ ya’ know, I know you’re right. I’ve seen meds work. I really didn’t take the time to clarify my stance. I know he’s wrong about ADD, etc. His main point is, if you want to be well, think well and you won’t get sick and that’s horseshit. That’s like saying, if you have cancer, imagine you don’t and you’ll be okay. If you want to be rich, think about it and you’ll get money and we ALL know that’s not true! 😂 My point was about the health and effects of the meds, in general. I’ve been prescribed shit simply because my ex disagreed with me and I was tired of arguing so the doc gave it to me (he admitted it was unethical but it outweighed the other issues, like divorce). Obviously, nothing happened. Fuckin’ guy was awesome. Reminded me a lot of Christopher Waltz ~ German dude in Tarantino films.
Aussie Cockatoo ~ you are right. He’s right about some points but so wrong about others. I know people who cannot eat well and think we’ll and be well. They can do the first two but need drugs to do the last.
I think we can agree that giving a 5 year old legal meth because they are hyper or unattentive isn’t a viable solution long term. Kids being exposed to that type of stuff at a young age leads to higher rates of addiction to other substances. And if a parent refuses to give them drugs they can have the child taken away and spend time in jail. Not right no matter how u shake it.
As someone that has taken medication for ADHD since I was 13 and now 36, there is most definitely a difference between the level it helps to focus and the utter inability to concentrate at the same level. It’s not as though it’s perfect and you don’t have to try, but it really does change your life. It’s not a miracle drug or anything like you’ll see in movies. You can’t be stupid when taking them and you really do need to make a consistent effort while in conjunction with the medication. It’s like any medication that’s taken for a long time. It isn’t a cure, nor is it designed to be. It doesn’t last 24/7. Actually, there’s a very finite length of time it is effective.
Sometimes medication is needed depending on the severity of the issue. Are doctors over prescribing nowadays, most definitely but Tom Cruise who is definitely ignorant, is trying to say that medication will not work for anyone and is never needed. When you've grown up with a sibling that had a severe case of adhd and add, only then you might understand when medication is warranted. It's good to have people such as yourself that know the difference between when medication is needed and when it isn't.
I took Ritalin as a ADHD kid and it help me got into the best Middle school in Taiwan where you needed to be top 1 percent of your age to be in. In exchange I got extreme eczema and depression. Was 181 cm tall with 40 kg In weight because every time I eat I puke. Can’t talk to people when under the influence of drug. I’m glad it worked out fine for you but apparently not the best option for everyone
@@hdon8190 Bull***t I say. I had severe ADHD and OCD, and the teachers wanted me on meds and drugs, and my parents said absolutely not, we don't believe in that just because of him having OCD and ADHD. So, they got me into judo and karate classes and I trained in those 4 days a week every week for 9 years straight. From elementary to high school and even a bit of college I can say that was the best alternative to any drugs they would've tried to get me on. Instead of allowing the kid to be a kid, and to give the parents the right resources for kids with severe ADHD and OCD and other stuff, they then resort to just saying to medicate them. Which is always the wrong thing to do.
@@hdon8190 Then again, if it is a psychotic disorder of some kind, like Schizophrenia or borderline personality (BPD), then I'd say medication is definitely the right way to do it.
@@upfront2375 Joe Rogan is talking here like a hot shot who's challenging celebrities in interviews. I remember how he was talking to The Rock explaining to the Rock why he quit fighting because at the age of 21 he was getting already so beat up like he went through some war and he rather went to comedy. He wanted to sound in front of the Rock like he went through a lot but he really sounded like a loser. Now this guy who sounded in front of the Rock like a loser is acting like he's making fun of celebrities. Pathetic.

Brooke Shields took medication to help with post natal depression, no-one has the right to judge her. Tom Cruise has never given birth or suffered from a hormonal change due to childbirth.
My mum was severely depressed after having me. My extended family covered for her and tried to protect me but I remember her being catatonic. She never spoke to me or hugged me. It was like a coma patient in the house. It was from me speaking to a teacher when I was 7 that she got treatment. And she completely turned around thanks to medicine and therapy. I'll trust doctors over some nutcase actor who got involved with a cult to make himself feel extra special
Tom Cruise is right on this time and he has courage for saying it.GOOD FOR TOM FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINS BIG PHARMA! Many experts in the field agree with him on the long term affects of these antidepressants.
@@SteveLeicht1 No, and he's not, but he's expressing an educated opinion of the subject, where the interviewer, Lauer, is not educated about it at all, and was an a-h0le to boot, which became obvious later when he had to leave the industry for sexual harassment of coworkers.
@@bestfriendrobert pretty sure Tom got sober through Narcanon which is an offshoot of Scientology . But like I said ....... ALL religions are crazy . I mean do you really think that Mary was a virgin when she had Jesus ? But still man ......... religion.can be a good thing sometimes for people who need some guidance and discipline ...
It doesn't "turn out," it was widely accepted then as now that misuse and overuse of drugs is a big problem. We don't need to credit the Scientology cult shill Cruise for speaking one decent truth while wrapping it in the offensive, brainwashed extremism of calling out psychiatry "pseudo-science" as he defends the much more egregious pseudo-science of the cult that he shills for.
I spent an afternoon at sea with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Tom is a civil, funny, intelligent, enthusiastic and very pleasant person. If you don't know the guy, stop yammering about him. Nicole, by the way, was marvellous as well. They were normal and nice. Enough said.
This isn't a new subject. When Christian bale starred in American Psycho he studied Tom cruise and based his character off of him. I quote "he's all extremely happy and seems normal, but he has nothing behind his eyes"
Despite who he is and his lifestyle I’ll admit he’s perfect for those action films just because how energetic and focused he is as an actor. I really don’t care about actors personal life. I’m just trying to watch a film lol
Watch the kill thrill films when all there is = murder, mayhem, chaos, destruction, moral decay, firth and sexual perversion. Just watch your film and get more popcorn for your kids next to you learning new skills. Now that's your life style that you share with Tommy.
Here's some research. I was an attendee at the Church of Scientology, taking classes for a couple weeks. I also read their book Dianetics. My major was Psychology. First, Dianetics is the book of exercises which brings you to a state of 'clear' and it comes directly from Therapeutic use of the teachings which are from Psychology. What Tom Cruise was trying to say is that all these drugs numb or change the behavior of the mind. As long as your on the drug, you are not in a natural state, so you can not become normal. Scientology was patched together from different sources but borrowed extensively from Organization and information from a group called the OTO, which Hubbard was a member and stole some of that information before he eloped with the wife of Jack Parsons, the founder of JPL.
People should give tc a break. Its his own personal views, and hes just doing him. Hes given us amazing movies, and stays out of the media/politics. What more can we ask for realistically.
Not when he tells other people how to conduct and live their lives. He isnt a medical professional and yet he is telling Brooke Shields and others how they should manage their mental health problems. She has a husband and family to help her, she doesnt need a man who has questionable behavior going on public television humiliating her discussing her problems thatbhave absolutely nothing to do with him. The man has failed marriages everywhere maybe he should be working on his own problems first and not telling others how to live their own lives.
I’m in atheist and hate religion. So I always have a little distain for people who believe in God and religion in general. But that’s 90% of people. The fact remains in the United States something like 90% of people who are on psychiatric depression and other medications are doing it when it’s not actually needed. EvenIf he is wrong about 10% it’s actually still a pretty good message. It applies to most of society including my girlfriend who is taking that stuff for a long time until I met her and got her to eventually stop and now she’s gotten older and figured out her issues and she’s a much better person.I think the people who are extreme cases less than 1% of the population that actually made these drugs to not see people or do you really crazy shit. The rest might be able to do without the drugs and just focus on family community and somebody decent their life to help them out. I get that a lot of people don’t have that but maybe that’s where our money should be spent instead of the drugs.
@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt I disagree, but here, I'll play along. History is a pseudoscience, by definition (at least if you hold it to the same parameters you do psychiatry), does that mean that any and all historical information we have is wrong and useless? Does that mean there is nothing we know about history that we know is a fact and without a doubt true? No, it doesn't. Tom, or Scientologists, use the fact that psychiatry is not purely and entirely scientific to dismiss it completely, which is stupid. It is focusing on semantics instead of the real issue at hand. Which is the effectiveness of psychiatry. It's far from perfect, but through scientific observation it is very easy to establish that psychiatry is far more effective than Scientology, and that it other than that genuinely helps people. Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs) who graduate from medical school, have a year of medical internship, and have 3 years of residency in the assessment and treatment of mental health disorders. Do you think Tom understands psychiatry better than them? He claims he understands the history of psychiatry, what exactly are his credentials to back this claim up? From what he's saying in the interview it seems like what he knows about the history of psychiatry he learned from Hollywood movies.
It sounds like you have a dog in this race. I can't be bothered to make a case in a forum like this. There is a reason some people see therapists for an entire lifetime. It's because it doesn't work. Just dope them up and lock them up. That's invariably what happens to truly mentally ill people.
The thing is, Tom Cruise was being very real there, so honest and accurate about pharmaceuticals. This must be why this clip is buried, practically only Rogan could shed light on it.
@Twice is the Worst Girl Group what do you mean how so? its obvious tom cruise is a fuckin nut job who don't know anything about pharmaceuticals or the history about them
I know a guy when he was 8-11 years old he was hospitalized 7 times mental hospital and was put on 11 different psych drugs . He only had lots of energy as all kids do ... now he’s 34 and was a heroin junkie for 10 years. At this time he’s sober and working
Opiates are absolutely horrible. Over long periods of abuse they rewire the brain. It takes a LONG time to feel normal again. In the end, it’ll magnify depression and hopelessness.
Never thought I'd agree w Tom on anything, but psychiatry being psuedo-science & a bunch of the pill bs, which kill more than all illegal drugs combined every year, even when used as prescribed, I agree with.
Even worse doctors who try to scare you into taking meds for every little thing . A cardiologist tried to get me to start taking at least 4 meds after his assistant got me angry because he didn't turn on the treadmill and was accusing me of being in bad shape but he outweighed me by 75pounds . I was about to tell off the QUACK but many people I know were his patients
Gotta love it when Joe and his guest sit and watch a screen and it takes forever for then to show what in the world they're looking at and commenting on.

Seems to me like Tom Cruise has found a way to crush and snort Scientology. After the Lauer interview Sony dumped him. He did Valkyrie and it saved his career. Since then he's been dead silent about anything even slightly controversial.
An trained actor will quickly point out that Tom Cruise is an entertainer not an actor; but a good entertainer. His tool bag is not that of Olivier. Even Born on the Forth of July, a good performance, could have easily been retitled, “Maverick Flies A Wheelchair.”
That's nice to hear. I understand that many stars don't have time for their fans. I am sure it can be difficult when you're tired or have other obligations.
I’m from Australia, a few years ago on our 60 minutes Tom Cruise was interviewed and he got very aggressive and said abruptly to the guy, put your manners back in Peter , put your on manners back in! He didn’t like the way he was being questioned and got very aggressive. I have a son who is severely schizophrenic and if he wasn’t on the high dose psych meds he would be out of his tree all the time so Tom doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Amen!! Everyone is different. Medications aren't for everyone but for those they work for, yah, I'll take them over the pseudo-science bullshit called Scientology. Btw, the only reasons these fucks hate physciatry is cause the APA wouldn't accept that fat bastard Hubbard trying to shove his dianetics crap down people's throat. So sick of morons salivating over Tom shit Cruise cause hes an actor. Big fucking deal. He is a rat face bastard so arrogant and maniacal, its nauseating. If only people took his dick out of their mouths, but go ahead and choke on it all you star fuckers. Death to David Shit-cavige and the evit cult our ball-less government protects
Anna B I have a son that also has benefited majorly From psychiatry and anti psychotic meds. It gave me my son back. Remember the movie “A Beautiful Mind” ? True story 👍🏼
Tom Cruise might be crazy, but at the end of the day he makes entertaining movies, and does his own stunts. He is damn near 60, and is in better shape than most people half his age. I also agree with him on the drug issue it definitely masks the problem. This is from personal experience. It is a tool to ease the stress, from a painful experience while the therapist slowly gets to the root of it. It is a tool that can be abused though.
Most people, myself included. Don't have a root issue, its anxiety caused from a physical disability that is not found. It plays Ali style rope a dope, with doctors throwing punches and the final diagnosis dodging. Until they give up. and you are stuck with accepting it, and the only way you can function from pain is through medication. Thats the reality. Its fucking sad man.
@@greyhat9720 yeah it is sad . I dealt with depression in my teens and was medicated for it. I was taking Prozac, felt better, but i quit taking it at the end because i didn't want to be addicted to it.
Drugs CAN mask the problem, but they are often also part of the solution for many people. The world isn't black and white. It's like saying food masks the problem of hunger, or that food is inherently bad because some people abuse it. Read "Behave" by Robert Sapolsky for 700 page primer on the neurobiology of human behavior.
@@MicahBuzanANIMATION That was just about perfect. It is true that drugs often only address the symptoms, but like, say, back pain, where inflammation can cause pain, which makes you move in a way that weakens or strengthens one side, which further causes impingement on a nerve that causes pain. Address the symptoms; maybe things will get better. Maybe not, but you have to try.
I've never seen Tom Cruise stop acting.
Deep.
lmao now that you say that.... i dont think ive seen him stop either
@@fz1000red Sounds like you know the guy. I've only seen his movies. I tend to like them though.
@Mr. Me I can't claim to know much about what makes a good actor. I do tend to like Cruise's movies. Since they make so much money somebody must agree with me. I definitely find them much more fun to watch than the movies I have seen by guys like Keenu Reaves for instance.
I didn't realize he is a good runner too. I have heard he does his own stunts. I saw his character in "The Firm" do a round off with multiple flip flops. It was pretty impressive. It looked like Cruise, and since he does his own stunts I imagine it was. I doubt a guy like Keenu Reaves or Christian Bale could do that.
@Mr. Me Nice or not, it's an honest opinion. Those can be hard to come by. I prefer honest opinions to nice ones anyway.
Charles Manson. . Said. .'Scientology Is Fucked Up'.. That's from Manson. Enough..

Brutally funny. Although pardon me while I go to a special building to talk to an invisible entity whose son died two millenia ago for me, sorry, he's not just his son but also his father at the same time who was born without sex. Nothing crazy about that either!

Christian Bale’s inspiration for his American Psycho character is Tom Cruise. He said something about his intense friendliness and the emptiness behind his eyes.
What interview ?
Ric Martinez letterman interview
@Kevin Nugent Gay guys might say that?
@Kevin Nugent You answered a question with a question? Or is this a riddle??
You misunderstood what he said apparently. Christian Bale spoke about how Tom Cruise was a "role model" for the character that he played in the film, which is base don Bret Easton Ellis's book of the same name. So, it was actually the author of "American Psycho" who made the connection between Patrick Bateman and Tom Cruise, who the former is inspired by.
I honestly would pay money to see Tom Cruise in a long format podcast.
he would prob do very well. he may be crazy but he is very charasmatic and high energy.
He did do Chris Hardwick’s podcast back in 2014 to promote Edge of Tomorrow and was surprisingly very normal and seems to have a genuine passion for film

I agree with Tom Cruise, when I was seeking counseling for childhood abuse, the therapist said " I cant treat you, unless your willing to take drugs" I said I dont want to mask the symptoms, I want to understand why?? I sought out another counselor and was able to figure things out, without drugs.
@Major Problems Everbody is different it is just as wrong for you to say everybody needs medication along with therapy, ad second of all scientists and doctors do not truly understand the brain, mind connection and much as you think you do, you don’t know.
Rebate and kickbacks
Psychiatrists are required to prescribe that's their main goal. It took me multiple times to find the right doc. Meds help the people who really need it where the benefits outweigh the possible side effects. You can totally heal without meds though when it comes to mending the past.
Those doctors will never understand this. Straightening my shit out and not making bad decisions cured my stress and anxiety.
I went to a psychiatrist once when I was 15 because I thought I had ADHD and after one question he put me on antidepressants. It was a really generic question too. After one month of using them I realized they made me depressed and I stopped and I've been fine ever since.
I met Tom cruise once, he was filming 'the last samurai' in my home town of New Plymouth. One afternoon I was out fishing at the beach not far from where he was staying. He came out to me and asked if I had caught anything and we talked about 30min I didn't realise it was him till he left then it clicked. He was a very nice person.

@@MrShiggitty what is IT?
@like where Tom is proof you do not need drugs to reprogram your brain. You can rewrite the narrative your lizard brain writes for you bc it's trying to keep you safe bc that's its job, but we can decide for ourselves to step outside of instinctual programming and rewrite our story. That is why doing what he's doing inside an industry that writes narrative elevates irony to the level of art. He is literally rewriting the human journey (hero with a thousand faces/Joseph Campbell/Christopher Vogler's work)...his own while inside an industry that...writes narrative and produces art. Choosing to remove "no" and "can't" from your vocabulary will change your life. Tom is in control of his individual NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). We need to learn that function on a personal level before we can rewrite humanity's role in our current physical existence.

He’s right about antidepressants masking the problem, rather than solving them. That’s 100% how I felt during the one year I was on antidepressants.
9/20/2022 Revision - When it comes to battling depression, medication is only the start. The idea that antidepressants will solve your problems is ridiculous. They are meant to help get the symptoms of depression under control, so you can function and begin the real work that it takes to over come your depression. Too many people are content with taking them just to “numb” or “mask” the effects of their depression. Acting like it’s just another modern quick fix, with no attempt to actively work on identifying and changing the factors of their reality that are at the root of their depression. That’s why antidepressants have become the current “opiate of the masses”. No magic pill is capable of solving these problems for you, and it’s naive to think it could.
@@redovercast111 You’re right, that is just my opinion. I have met quite a few people who agree with me though.
@Scott Donnelly I glad it helps them. I’m just stating my opinion based on my experience, but I know I’m not the only one who feels that way.
@Scott Donnelly Take the drugs away a couple days and see what happens.
Being numb all day on drugs is not helping their condition
@Scott Donnelly Like everything, it works for some and doesn't for others. I will agree that it doesn't necessarily "solve" depression but it definitely makes it much more manageable. Also the growing amount of medications with slightly different barriers of activation and purpose only prolong and exacerbate the issue for many people. I've tried meds that made it worse, did nothing, or helped tremendously. It's something people will never unanimously agree on due to the inherent subjectivity of the topic.
It depends on the individual. Some individuals have chemical imbalances where they are in such a dark place that they cannot begin actual mental health treatment without first reaching a more balanced 'chemical' state.
Tom cruise is 1000% right on this. And mad respect to him for having the balls to stand up in the way he did to speak against these horrible pharmaceuticals. I would have done the same, with the same vigor and seriousness as he did. I don’t know much about Tom Cruise. Nor do I really give a flying *#@$ about celebrities. But I appreciate honesty and this interview shows integrity.
I have been on antipsychotics. I will NEVER do it AGAIN! EVER! If you want to not be a human being and want to feel that you have no feelings, no passion, no connection to yourself...take these crazy SSRI drugs! I don't know anyone that they truly helped! They only mask symptoms. I will never allow myself to feel that dead inside again. I"d rather be dead than take a SSRI.
Indiya, I'm sorry to disappoint you but, contrary to what he claims, Tom Cruise has not done "the research" on psychiatric medications. And he knows next to nothing about the field of psychiatry. During the interview (with Matt Lauer) he said that there was no such thing as a "chemical imbalance" in the brain. He's wrong. It is a scientific fact that SSRI's are highly effective in the treatment of Bi-Polar and other psychiatric disorders. I should know. I've suffered from Bi-Polar II since I was in my late twenties and I can tell you from first hand experience, that life without my medications is an absolute nightmare. Truth be told, these meds have saved my life.
But he's okay with Kool-Aid.
Is hell a woman who's on medication for postpartum depression the pharmaceuticals are inappropriate is whack.. not sure? Ask Andrea Yates!!
1000% eh. Talk about hyperbolic. I’d venture to guess your a star struck minion and/or a Scientologist. At least I’m honest enough to mention I’m guessing but you are 1000% sure
Tom stopped by my cousin's house. He was there as she was dying of cancer and he made the effort to swing by for lunch. He was not trying to sell anything and was genuinely concerned, he knew the names of her kids and it was a very surreal time. He was a gentleman who gave a moment of his time to help another.

I met Tom Cruise.
We were coming back from visiting family on the east coast, we live in Malibu. On the way back we stopped at this local spot for food and we saw him there. He had so many people around him but it was Tom cruise so of course I had to try and get a picture with him. When I walked up, we locked eyes, and something stirred within me. He got up and walked towards me and grabbed me by my shoulders. This crazed look on his face. He leans forward and whispers in my ear, “I remember”. Suddenly I’m thrown into a flashback. I’m seeing my entire life as if it’s a single moment. Tom Cruise pulling me from my mothers womb. Tom Cruise driving the school bus. Tom Cruise is my dad. I wake up. I’m in a hospital. I had no idea what happened. I yell for a doctor. I couldn’t hear anything at first, but then I heard hurried footsteps outside the door. When the door opens, Tom Cruise is standing in front of me in a white coat. There was a little mirror to the left. I looked into it….I am Tom Cruise.
It sounds like "Being John Malkovitch" great movie

Yup, happens every time
I reckon Scientology is a big TAX dodge for all involved.
Well of course, now that they were able to obtain federal recognition as a church. Which never should have happened.
@Venom I mean, no one should have one, but scientology is a modern day money makeing religion, sipohning hundreds of thousands if not millions from people, or enlist them in their 'military' Seaorg' ship bullshit
@@SalthoTheNecro Adding to your comment on the tax haven that Ronnie Hubbard made up which he staffed with zealots on less than minimum wage, at least the older cults made their magic guy in the sky mystical and beyond comprehension, not some inter-galactic refugee named Xenu and there's hydrogen bombs being thrown around 75 million years ago , the same level of technology that was around when he started making this crap up.... Tax dodges should be means tested , that would sink Tom and his wackos and hit the catholics in the groin at the same time, they are both total fiction designed to rip off vulnerable or confused people.
Venom Watch out everyone we got an edgy 13 year old on the loose.
Scientology has tax exempt status.
After hearing that interview again...I actually agree with Tom on abuses of Adderall, Ritalin as well.
"Tom cruise is crazy"
Then completely agrees with tom cruise 😂
being brainwashed by a cult has nothing to do with being crazy; it has to do with a lack of self esteem and being troubled deeply. TC is a very intense and highly sensitive and affected person and that's why he was sucked in. No different than kids that get caught up in gangs.
@@cb-zc8dv and he was lured in the sect when he was having supposedly a very hard time in his life. They want the troubled so they can control them.
@@cb-zc8dv every religion is a cult so most of the world has been sucked in. Look at how high functioning Cruise is.
@Ab Cd Christianity is just as ridiculous as scientology. It's just widely accepted. Tom Cruise is no crazier than a classic american christian. Just that Tom is a very smart, deep and charismatic guy making him seem crazier
A broken clock is right two times a day.
Used to work in the movies industry and let me tell you, Tom is GREAT. Very professional, always on time and he's nice to everyone on set, unlike most celebrities that are primadonnas and are nowhere near the status of Tom. He may be have his scientology thing going on but he never pushed that on anyone. Tom is solid, great guy.
Nuri Muhammad agreed
I've heard that as well, everyone says he is super nice...like he isn't even famous.
He was even nice to the meanie that splashed water on him. I think dude went home and tried to be a better person after tomorrow talked to him.
On set Tom is always cool.
Reality tv show Tom is my fav.
Joe if there were ever anyone you NEEDED to have on your show its Tom Cruise. Im guessing thatd be your best episode yet.
That's never gonna happen, not after Leah Remini and Ron Miscavige have already been on the show.
But hasn’t there been 10,000 people on the show lol?
Well, if it ever got ugly, at least Joe could kick his scientological ASS!
Slight Return
You’d think they would want to clear their name by having someone so high up in their ‘ church’ speak on their behalf but they are too busy obsessively harassing and writing ‘response letters’ what a fucking weird deal that Scientology is
But Tom would not like that Joe controls the show, and after all Joe is a "suppressive person." Don't forget that Scientology is a fake theology based on totalitarianism.
Tom Cruise had a good point about the psych meds, to be honest.
I was about to type this
However, he was wrong about his ideas about post-partum depression!
No. No he didn’t!
I would be in terrible strife without my psych meds.
TC knows NOTHING.
He doesn’t know what he is talking about. He should stick to scripts and not try to make it up as he goes along.
He’s totally ignorant and is just sprouting Scientology speak.
And he is a terrible actor, and a nut case! He should be on meds!!!

Recently heard about this book for example. Haven't read it yet.
Cracked: Why Psychiatry is Doing More Harm Than Good by James Davies
Controversial and powerful - a shocking indictment of the pseudo-science at the heart of modern psychiatry.
One in four people in the UK and US will develop a mental disorder in any given year. That’s what psychiatry tells us. But many - even most - will not actually be mentally ill. Thanks to pseudo-science and corporate greed, psychiatry is letting us down.
Why is psychiatry such big business? Why are so many psychiatric drugs prescribed - 47 million antidepressant prescriptions in the UK alone each year - and why, without solid scientific justification, has the number of mental disorders risen from 106 in 1952 to 374 today?
The everyday sufferings and setbacks of life are now ‘medicalised’ into illnesses that require treatment - usually with highly profitable drugs. Psychological therapist James Davies uses his insider knowledge to illustrate for a general readership how psychiatry has put riches and medical status above patients’ well-being.
The charge sheet is damning: negative drug trials routinely buried; antidepressants that work no better than placebos; research regularly manipulated to produce positive results; doctors, seduced by huge pharmaceutical rewards, creating more disorders and prescribing more pills; and ethical, scientific and treatment flaws unscrupulously concealed by mass-marketing.
Cracked reveals for the first time the true human cost of an industry that, in the name of helping others, has actually been helping itself.

You know, I have a hard time believing all that stuff. We've had the tech to make it look like he's doing all these stunts for the longest time, you just take a disposable stuntman with similar body type and CGI Cruise's face on top. They wouldn't want to risk a 100 million dollar production just because their star wants to do all the stunts himself. The investors and insurance companies would most definitely not approve. It's all just marketing to sell Cruise.
And he donates to charities. I agree he is doing some things right but yes we are not perfect and I think it is safe to say he is neither ;)
Compared to 30 or 20 years ago, the amount of drugs prescribed to adults and children is crazy.
What Joe said about the classroom, is so true. My son has ADHD, lots of energy, very smart and sweet. I love him just the way he is.
Sadly, the education systems do not want kids that dont fit in their box. Of course they try and push me to medicate him. His self esteem is way down from all the negatively from teachers, principles, school staff. He has had one or two teachers that were fantastic, they became a teacher for the right reasons. He did great in thier classes.
Kind regards.
Adderall is as addictive as meth do not by any means drug him because medicate is a stupid word for it. It's pure pleasure and euphoria to override temporary boredom and it's never worth it
Wow thats so wrong are they seriously trying to get you to meditate him? That will rob him of his gift...
I love teachers like that ❤️ there aren’t many REAL teachers left these days just lazy nags
im the same way the schools tried and tried to get my parents to put me on that dumb drug and now that im old enough im so glad they never did and he will to
My childhood sucked with all the drugs my parents put me on, I was instantly stigmatized by my family. It created life long struggles and almost destroyed me. Think about that when kids grow up in a mess they likely will never understand. Wish my mother knew better, I used to have a heart with pain I never felt. I am not kidding, I am a prodigy with a very intelligent mind, I know I'm smarter than everybody in the room and frown upon their ignorance. People are copycats and don't possess the awareness I have granted I'm not alone
I agree with Tom on the meds thing. I was diagnosed with manic depression at age 7, given meds and they changed all the time. I was never stable, always in a fog, and felt sick to my stomach all the time. I haven’t been on anything for two years now. I have never seeing or thought more clearly in my life.
I trust that you never need to use Pharmaceuticals again, in your life .
Watch for prescriptions with HCL , at the end - it's extra hydrochloride salts , same as the acid in your stomach - these salts , help generate future profits for big pharma .
Go with Holistic Medicine & Practices , they rearely have any sort of side effects . I've had a lifelong problems with every prescription , or bit of synthetic clothing item .
The flu vaccine , is an undeclared medical experiment , just like COVID , which I trust you won't get , or should that have happened , your recovery was swift , with minimal discomfort .

@@joecraven2712 as does RubySlippers comment
Tom Cruise is parroting Hubbard's hatred of psychiatrists.
We know that psychiatry has struggled with successes and failures trying to help people overcome depression and mental illness.
If Tom was honest he would also be willing to discuss the abuse of Sea Org members by Hubbard and Miscarriage instead of lying and denying.
But he won't.
Also I don’t know for fact but I heard or watched a video about how Ron Hubbard was on a lot of medication. A man went into his hotel room to check on him because he did not look well and I believe it said “I seen over thousands of drugs including depression pills and psychiatric medications ”
& if you watch Ron Hubbard videos of him speaking I’m sorry if it me but you does not make any sense he beats around the bush so bad. And then lied in a interview about him being married he was married 3 times and said his first wife died and he has a lovely wife now and then send he has never had a second wife. His was aboard the boat of the sea org running from Britain for tax invasion. It’s in black and white.
Is all about symptoms rather than the problem. Tom is right.
Hah, miscavage. But that's a good one.
infiniteozzyfan you are the one who needs to research it. You’re the sleeping sheep.
Cruise has attained a level of success in his career that has lasted over 4 decades - his most recent film the sequel to TOP GUN made a fortune, so much money that it indicated that folks were seeing it more then once in theaters -- he does not drink, take drugs, has never been in trouble with the law - he has a need for Scientology in his life and it works for him - it is his personal life journey - so i admire Tom Cruise for challenging himself - he is not crazy

He's also right about it masking the real problem instead of fixing the cause. 🤷🏼♂️
Yes, but if you’re in really bad shape, therapy and medication together do wonders. It’s so easy for people to talk about it when they haven’t been through it either. He also didn’t research as much as he thought if he thinks antipsychotics ≠ anxiolytics and antidepressants. Not even the same class of drug.
And that's most drugs
Don’t understand this idea, because it’s not a cure it isn’t worthwhile? Would you say the same about chemo?
@@remotefaith that's not what I said... You're interpretation isn't accurate at all.
Drugs very often just mask symptoms, while ignoring underlying causes. There is a huge difference.
And chemo is a terrible example. It's the opposite. People don't "feel" better on chemo lol - they often feel much worse (worsens perceived symptoms), while it fights the underlying pathological cause.
Sounds like Cruise and scientology
Tom Cruise while nutty also seems like a decent guy, and I'm with him on the overuse of psychiatric pharmaceuticals, but for the love of God he needs to get away from Scientology.

Tom was right. I was a kid on those drugs. Concerta...vivance.... I hated it and in high school I told my parents I didn't want to take it anymore and refused to. Lucky for me they didn't fight me on it. I was tired of being a zombie and my friends at school wondering if I was ok... again. Tom was 100% right
So what were you like after you stopped the treatment?
@@npvuvuzela i felt better in general. I also learned that as I got older it was easier to control my "ADHD". I guess you can say I grew out of it or... I was a normal boy who just needed to let his energy out.
When I was on it I couldn't sleep if I took it too late and I wouldn't eat. I felt sick when eating. At home id just sit on my bed and think of random stuff. I wouldn't want to play games or talk. No joking. No fun. Honestly it was depressing as hell. So once I decided to get off it was a total 180. I did fine passing school even if it was getting c and ds lol went to college. Did fine in life. Wish I was never on all those meds.
should have kept the prescription and sold them
@@ZombieLincoln666 lol true.
I nannied for an 11 year old about 15 years ago. His mom would tell me to watch him take his ADHD pill in the morning to make sure he takes it (“sometimes I find it in his pockets in the laundry”, she said). God help me, I did no such thing. The kid was shuffled to basketball practice at private school at 5am, then to before-school tutoring, then debate team, then after-school tutoring. That’s not ADHD that is is overworked.
I am not a childcare professional FYI. Was just a nanny gig when I was young. I can only imagine what actual childcare professionals deal with in parenting.
I think Tom cruise was being far from crazy here he's just passionate in the way he approaches things.
Anybody who's had to stand up and pull someone out of something you know is harmful and is still accused of being controlling and arrogant will know why Tom was having that conversation with such seriousness. Dude was actually talking sense.
I don't follow. The first part of your sentence sounds like taking someone out of a cult like scientology where they feed on making you an addict on their word so you will let yourself be jailed, removed from your family, deprived of basic health care. Tom is quite disturbingly intense in his saying what is and what is your enemy. Someone like him is so successful because they so sincerely believe the crap because he has had custom plane hangars and motorcycles hand built for him for free because he can mind control you with his manic intensity and success. Whoever figures anyone who has got filthy rich off of being a star in Hollywood should be listened to - well maybe they got sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein and were in a movie once. It is so absolutely bizarre to me that people think out of touch celebrities should be listened to about anything except sheer interest. Gary Busey and Rick James were big into cocaine during the height of their fame. Anyone out there who thought I don't care what all you 'doctors' who 'are have degrees from training themselves in the human body and how it works and how to treat it' - cocaine is working out pretty good both for a white actor and a black singer. I'm going with cocaine doc. Next time your power goes out I hope you find out what Tom advises on circuitry issues instead of some big corp lackey they say is an expert in wiring. What would Tom do? Your baby is dying of a serious infection. Hmmm Tom isn't into all those 'pharma poison'. Let's just see if owning yourself and your power and not letting others take your power back by selling yourself to the pathetic ramblings of a deluded fraud who likes to pretend he's got a navy and secrets about pods of aliens in an old war or something - not sure if it was around the time of the dinosaurs? helps clear that infection up. If you are an insanely wealthy movie star who has the sociopathic leader of a bizarre cult bend the world and use enslaved people to make you custom boats for a place to sleep on the floor and some rice and strict thought control and have people who would pay to eat your garbage, in a shiny warm sea of opulence and delusions of grandeur, then ya, Tom seems to be the sort of guy to go to for advice. He gives zero shits about one of his own kids. Scientology could be building sustainable housing and infrastructure in underserved communities. But then was $10 million really enough for him to star in that movie? Wouldn't it be better if he had nicer things that made him think there were no bad places or illnesses because all he has to do is be Tom Cruise? There are dictators in Africa that don't so blatantly fuck over the poor. This world is so fucked up.
@@carlyrivers8868 this was way too long, but from what I could understand is that you've taken me as someone who worships Tom. I don't. I just have been in the same situation and this is how I reacted. People did think of me to be too arrogant to listen to anyone else, but the truth is I had been through the same ordeal and was trying very hard to save someone I genuinely care about.
As far as Tom is concerned, I bet he's nothing to write home about. Celebrities rarely are. All I was saying is I understand why he's being so defensive.
Hmm
@@HamzaFaruqui As someone who has a decent enough understanding of Scientology I can tell you this. The reason why Tom is being so defensive has to do with his involvement with Scientology. His intense behaviour is a result of hours upon hours of their training exercises called TRs (training routines) and founder L Ron Hubbard's dislike of psychiatry and psychology who for the sake of profit made up his own alternative in Dianetics. Tom's understanding of what is good for other people is based on Scientology, and he has reached their highest level. No matter what someone claims medicine has done for them, he's not interested. Scientology will always have the final word, they are the "experts". To put it simple, he's brainwashed.

For the most part ur right.

Like disrupting the class n just as the teachers gonna get passed they realize that not only have I been paying attention but I've obviously studied the subject(s) before which sorta irritates them even more lol.

I doubt Joe Rogan would agree to a list of topics they can and the ones they can't discuss. Scientology keeps Tom Cruise as shielded as possible from dissenting opinions; all of his staff, managers and lawyers are Scientologists, some of which have the mission to report everything about Tom to Scientology leader David Miscavige.

So true. His passion is fun to watch. He said he watches a movie every day. When he was in Taps, he started with a lesser role, then given a better one. He would go hang with the crew to see how they did their trades and learned how it all worked. He enjoys it so much. He also is good at letting others shine, and helping them to do so. Just watch him on Leno with the Fruitcake Lady teaching them to make fruitcake. Great fun.

Both Tom and Matt are correct in that anti-psychotics and antidepressants were the drugs of choice for many family physicians and psychiatrists to treat related diagnoses in children (especially). (Akin to our present opioid epidemic, these types of drugs were over-prescribed.) The main issues I have with this is (1) what type of actual medical testing and assessments were performed in order to properly diagnose these type of conditions for which these drugs were prescribed to "treat" and (2) were these drugs the only remedy prescribed (i.e., the only and a permanent solution) to provide patients and families with the level of hope and comfort they sought and needed. I cannot recall how many times I have heard, read, or seen how young children, teens, and young adults were prescribed these types of drugs based solely on subjective data (e.g., common symptoms of these types of disorders). I know parents are desperate to help their children, but this emotional sensitivity should only move medical professionals towards an investigation of the actual cause(s) instead of masking the issue with drugs. In some, if not more often than not, of these cases, the patient is too young to even diagnose. The other issue is what are the long term effects of these drugs especially when first given to patients who are young who would otherwise grow out it or learn to cope given the right psychological, social, nutritional, and spiritual support. I am not saying that some people do not benefit from these type of drugs, however, were all these other aforementioned aspects of the patient's life first considered, not to mention all the necessary testing to correctly diagnose these conditions? Moreover, are some of these aspects integrated along with prescription medication as part of the treatment? Who knows, the prognosis involving drugs as a lifelong answer to attain some level of normalcy may turn out to be only temporary...
If you haven’t dealt with something like Treatment Resistant Major Depression you don't k ow why people need medication. I've been dealing with this since my diagnosis 14 years ago, and I promise you that it not only saved my life but improved it tremendously.
I should have been diagnosed with major Depressive Disorder when I was just a child but because people in the 70's and 80's thought kids couldn't have Psychological problems it was left untreated.
I was at the top of my career at 32 when my world literally and figuratively fell apart. It caused a neurological disorder on top of the already crazy things that happened, things that if treated earlier could have been mitigated. Instead I literally lost 5 years of my life that I can't remember, lost most of my family and friends because they couldn't understand or cope and lost my career that I worked myself halfway too death for.
So, if you think you have something too say about Psychiatric Treatment, just shut your mouth, walk the past 14 years in the shoes of someone who lost everything and let's hear what you say then.
I think Tom is right (and I am not a Scientologist) and I am a therapist. Why wouldn't people get depressed and anxious living in this world. I believe the the SSRIs and stimulants do mask the real issues, people need a revolution in their own lives, then need to give up dysfunctional family loyalties, learn to love have compassion for themselves, "reparent" themselves.... society needs to change in big sweeping ways, and people need real existential answers that give meaning to life, then they will be getting to the real issues.
With regards to drug therapy...Cruise is absolutely correct. Beginning in the 1950s with 'mothers little helper' to the 1980s 'childrens little helper' forwards to the 'populations little helpers' we, as a culture, have transferred our mental health and the mental health of our loved ones to a unproven and unsubstantiated 'prescription' of/for what has been deemed normalcy .
We're born into madness, anything that gets you through this crazy thing called life, I say take it, just to ease the pain....... I worry about people who go through life being straight, they're the problem lol.
Agree. I have withdrawn from society to clear my head, figure myself out, and realize my calling in life. From this third party perspective, it’s quite obvious people in general are far more narcissistic and vane than they ever were before, and it’s a trend that correlates with the invention of social media, and everyone’s willingness to take it in their a** through their phones. I also feel that true quality sells itself without any gimmicks or sales pitches, and reality will once again sell out to the public when this fad is over, possibly warned against by the surgeon general…
Yes I think you are right. Medication is the easy way out, when people are trapped in a system they can't get out of. On the other hand, some things are hard to fix with no meds. I've had severe insomnia for years. Even if you work really hard on the real causes that takes time, and you don't have that time, because the lack of sleep wrecks your body and brain before you get to the point its working again with all the no med ways. So sometimes as a temporary solution they are really the only option.
Nah nah nah...psychiatric drugs are the best good for the most people. I'd answered my questions about my place in the universe and conquered my existential dread and the horror of facing meaningless existence. I got to the bottom of my identity and discovered my truths and formed a coherent sense of purpose and ethics that was based on compassion and empathy... but I still didn't know what day of the week it was half the time and would lose everything important to me and couldn't motivate myself to do the most basic shit. And then I got some Vyvanse and Adderall and now I live a productive happy life and 90% of the struggle of just existing in my own head is eliminated from my daily list of shit to deal with. Drugs are good when properly prescribed.
I "Think" Lea Remini said (In an interview) that Tom Cruise gets treated like royalty because everyone keeps telling him that he will be single handedly saving the world,,,I get the feeling that he truly believes in all that diatribe.
TOTALLY agree with you. He has been so brainwashed to think he is special and looks at himself almost like a jesus. In a way you can't blame him, id probably do the same getting my ass kissed all day long, both in Hollywood and his silly church slaves. I don't think he has any mental health issues .he's just loving the rimming 😙
Just look at the Mission Impossible series, almost always saves the day by himself lmao
Abir Bin Habib well, when the movie company pays for a lot of “Yes People” kissing up to Tom Cruise for all these years, just a matter of time before he gets caught up in it - as much as Tom Cruise is a good actor and makes the movie companies a LOT of money - the guy is bat shit crazy, and yes, I think he truly believes in all that crap
There is no 'will be saving the world' he IS saving the world, according to this utterly bizarre and frightening group.
Sarah Dixon yeah, weird as hell
Tom Cruise: "His energy, he's just like an electric eel." Perfect description.
Tom was right. completely right
Of course he is crazy. He's a Scientologist! 😵
@Stefan Frisk . A Stupidologist, that’s what he is
I love this.. Headline:
"Joe Rogan - Tom Cruise is Crazy!"
Then when they play the clip, "he's actually right".
OK!
Being right about something does not mean you can't be crazy, just like being wrong does not mean you are crazy ((c) Greg. House). He is probably referring to the fact that Tom Cruise is quite eccentric as well as how he was acting in that particular interview.
Next clip called: Tom cruise is crazy and awesome
@Honest Person they might be thinking he sounded crazy when Tom tries to generalize the use of psychiatric medication as just masking the problem. Yes, there are side effects in the medications, however, Tom cannot rule out the fact that the meds are helping people to recover, like for people who have Schizophrenia, as an example. As far as I can tell, he's basically saying that these medications should not be used in general. I think you can try watching the full clip of this interview with Tom Cruise, so it is easier to understand the story behind it.
lol "Actually right" people are so naive is hilarious, if you cant find anything wrong with his statements I pray there is few people like you in this world

Tom Cruise is oversimplifying the issue dramatically. I love his acting and his movies, but he is a crazy narcissist.
yeah of course there are people that depend on it and they'd kill themselves if they didn't have any of those drugs..but he is not wrong with some things he said. it really does just mask the problems and it doesn't deal with the source of the issues most of the time and a lot of people just get drugged because nobody wants to deal with really helping them. besides this those pills have some strong side effects sometimes and if you put the wrong person on those drugs it could get worse than it already was.
Everything he said was true though .
That's such an ignorant thing to say. Do you eat out of a bowl on the floor?
What he said may have been true but he was avoiding a solid part of the question yes alot of meds are abused but those are commonly adhd meds and opioids so yeah we can go with that but as for the anxiety, depression, schizophrenic, multiple personality disorder, and so on those people NEED there meds for a level and if people wanna argue that then I really hope they don't fucking breed because we have enough stupid out here as is.
@Gideon U Sounds like you know hardly, if any, health professionals. You're making the same mistake as Tom Cruise in this video; thinking every single individual is the same and one solution fits all.
"Black and white are all I see in my infancy. Red and yellow then came to me, reaching out to me, let's me see." - Maynard James Keenan, Lateralus album.
May you not be so closed minded in the future.
Tom is absolutely right!!!
In fairness,Tom cruise was right in what he said.
Do you see Rogan, this kind of public you invited here with your antiwaxing.
He was exactly right
Thank you for speaking out on abusive parents drugging their children it’s truly awful.
Sadly, Cruise is right about the drugs masking the symptoms, not curing them.
Not entirely true. Certainly for some people, but certain medications allow specific people to work through psychiatric problems.
The thing about psychiatry is that it's nowhere near an exact science. For example: gravity affects everyone the same way on planet earth. But xanax? It has wildly varying effects to the human population, much like every single drug on the face of the planet.
But this isn't to say psychiatry doesn't have it's uses. I have experienced firsthand, and saw in my group of friends, that psychiatry when practiced by however you define "competent" does a world of good. It allows you to learn coping skills and to better deal with emotions that certain individuals aren't fully equipped to deal with on their own.
Andrew Pillion ~ ya’ know, I know you’re right. I’ve seen meds work. I really didn’t take the time to clarify my stance. I know he’s wrong about ADD, etc. His main point is, if you want to be well, think well and you won’t get sick and that’s horseshit. That’s like saying, if you have cancer, imagine you don’t and you’ll be okay. If you want to be rich, think about it and you’ll get money and we ALL know that’s not true! 😂
My point was about the health and effects of the meds, in general. I’ve been prescribed shit simply because my ex disagreed with me and I was tired of arguing so the doc gave it to me (he admitted it was unethical but it outweighed the other issues, like divorce). Obviously, nothing happened.
Fuckin’ guy was awesome. Reminded me a lot of Christopher Waltz ~ German dude in Tarantino films.
Julia A ~ also a true statement.
Aussie Cockatoo ~ you are right. He’s right about some points but so wrong about others. I know people who cannot eat well and think we’ll and be well. They can do the first two but need drugs to do the last.
I think we can agree that giving a 5 year old legal meth because they are hyper or unattentive isn’t a viable solution long term. Kids being exposed to that type of stuff at a young age leads to higher rates of addiction to other substances. And if a parent refuses to give them drugs they can have the child taken away and spend time in jail. Not right no matter how u shake it.
As someone that has taken medication for ADHD since I was 13 and now 36, there is most definitely a difference between the level it helps to focus and the utter inability to concentrate at the same level. It’s not as though it’s perfect and you don’t have to try, but it really does change your life. It’s not a miracle drug or anything like you’ll see in movies. You can’t be stupid when taking them and you really do need to make a consistent effort while in conjunction with the medication. It’s like any medication that’s taken for a long time. It isn’t a cure, nor is it designed to be. It doesn’t last 24/7. Actually, there’s a very finite length of time it is effective.
I started taking vyvanse in 1st grade and that shit made me a zombie and would take away my appetite, glad I hopped off
Sometimes medication is needed depending on the severity of the issue. Are doctors over prescribing nowadays, most definitely but Tom Cruise who is definitely ignorant, is trying to say that medication will not work for anyone and is never needed. When you've grown up with a sibling that had a severe case of adhd and add, only then you might understand when medication is warranted. It's good to have people such as yourself that know the difference between when medication is needed and when it isn't.
I took Ritalin as a ADHD kid and it help me got into the best Middle school in Taiwan where you needed to be top 1 percent of your age to be in. In exchange I got extreme eczema and depression. Was 181 cm tall with 40 kg In weight because every time I eat I puke. Can’t talk to people when under the influence of drug. I’m glad it worked out fine for you but apparently not the best option for everyone
@@hdon8190 Bull***t I say. I had severe ADHD and OCD, and the teachers wanted me on meds and drugs, and my parents said absolutely not, we don't believe in that just because of him having OCD and ADHD.
So, they got me into judo and karate classes and I trained in those 4 days a week every week for 9 years straight.
From elementary to high school and even a bit of college I can say that was the best alternative to any drugs they would've tried to get me on. Instead of allowing the kid to be a kid, and to give the parents the right resources for kids with severe ADHD and OCD and other stuff, they then resort to just saying to medicate them.
Which is always the wrong thing to do.
@@hdon8190 Then again, if it is a psychotic disorder of some kind, like Schizophrenia or borderline personality (BPD), then I'd say medication is definitely the right way to do it.
It’s entirely possible that Tom Cruise is crazy.

Definitely. Whenever I'm feeling sad I just take a whole bunch of drugs to feel better. Oh sorry, I mean prescribed medication.
My mum was severely depressed after having me. My extended family covered for her and tried to protect me but I remember her being catatonic. She never spoke to me or hugged me. It was like a coma patient in the house. It was from me speaking to a teacher when I was 7 that she got treatment. And she completely turned around thanks to medicine and therapy.

Yup. Xenu really DID hide the bodies in a Hawaiian volcano. Thank GOD Tom finally came out of the closet.
It doesn't "turn out," it was widely accepted then as now that misuse and overuse of drugs is a big problem. We don't need to credit the Scientology cult shill Cruise for speaking one decent truth while wrapping it in the offensive, brainwashed extremism of calling out psychiatry "pseudo-science" as he defends the much more egregious pseudo-science of the cult that he shills for.
I spent an afternoon at sea with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Tom is a civil, funny, intelligent, enthusiastic and very pleasant person. If you don't know the guy, stop yammering about him. Nicole, by the way, was marvellous as well. They were normal and nice. Enough said.

Minority report was really good
@@anslogarrick7638 I agree.
Here's some research. I was an attendee at the Church of Scientology, taking classes for a couple weeks. I also read their book Dianetics.
My major was Psychology. First, Dianetics is the book of exercises which brings you to a state of 'clear' and it comes directly from Therapeutic use of the teachings which are from Psychology.
What Tom Cruise was trying to say is that all these drugs numb or change the behavior of the mind. As long as your on the drug, you are not in a natural state, so you can not become normal.
Scientology was patched together from different sources but borrowed extensively from Organization and information from a group called the OTO, which Hubbard was a member and stole some of that information before he eloped with the wife of Jack Parsons, the founder of JPL.

People should give tc a break. Its his own personal views, and hes just doing him. Hes given us amazing movies, and stays out of the media/politics. What more can we ask for realistically.
AAAAAAMEEEEN!!!!!!!!!
Not when he tells other people how to conduct and live their lives. He isnt a medical professional and yet he is telling Brooke Shields and others how they should manage their mental health problems. She has a husband and family to help her, she doesnt need a man who has questionable behavior going on public television humiliating her discussing her problems thatbhave absolutely nothing to do with him. The man has failed marriages everywhere maybe he should be working on his own problems first and not telling others how to live their own lives.
Tom Cruise: "psychiatry is a pseudo science"! I'd have asked him what part of science is Scientology-apart from it's first five letters?
yeah, it's a fucking religion, no need to start an argument with a guy like that
Psychiatry is a pseudoscience. Always has been.
I’m in atheist and hate religion. So I always have a little distain for people who believe in God and religion in general. But that’s 90% of people. The fact remains in the United States something like 90% of people who are on psychiatric depression and other medications are doing it when it’s not actually needed. EvenIf he is wrong about 10% it’s actually still a pretty good message. It applies to most of society including my girlfriend who is taking that stuff for a long time until I met her and got her to eventually stop and now she’s gotten older and figured out her issues and she’s a much better person.I think the people who are extreme cases less than 1% of the population that actually made these drugs to not see people or do you really crazy shit. The rest might be able to do without the drugs and just focus on family community and somebody decent their life to help them out. I get that a lot of people don’t have that but maybe that’s where our money should be spent instead of the drugs.
@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt I disagree, but here, I'll play along. History is a pseudoscience, by definition (at least if you hold it to the same parameters you do psychiatry), does that mean that any and all historical information we have is wrong and useless? Does that mean there is nothing we know about history that we know is a fact and without a doubt true? No, it doesn't.
Tom, or Scientologists, use the fact that psychiatry is not purely and entirely scientific to dismiss it completely, which is stupid. It is focusing on semantics instead of the real issue at hand. Which is the effectiveness of psychiatry. It's far from perfect, but through scientific observation it is very easy to establish that psychiatry is far more effective than Scientology, and that it other than that genuinely helps people.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs) who graduate from medical school, have a year of medical internship, and have 3 years of residency in the assessment and treatment of mental health disorders. Do you think Tom understands psychiatry better than them?
He claims he understands the history of psychiatry, what exactly are his credentials to back this claim up? From what he's saying in the interview it seems like what he knows about the history of psychiatry he learned from Hollywood movies.
It sounds like you have a dog in this race. I can't be bothered to make a case in a forum like this. There is a reason some people see therapists for an entire lifetime. It's because it doesn't work. Just dope them up and lock them up. That's invariably what happens to truly mentally ill people.
he is sadly 100% right, and now we know that after these lockdowns and the rest...

Never thought I'd agree w Tom on anything, but psychiatry being psuedo-science & a bunch of the pill bs, which kill more than all illegal drugs combined every year, even when used as prescribed, I agree with.
Even worse doctors who try to scare you into taking meds for every little thing .

Say what you want about Tom Cruise, one fact remains true, the guy is an incredible actor and played in a number of awesome movies.
So..
He is part of a wacko cult though.
But he’s nuts
An trained actor will quickly point out that Tom Cruise is an entertainer not an actor; but a good entertainer. His tool bag is not that of Olivier. Even Born on the Forth of July, a good performance, could have easily been retitled, “Maverick Flies A Wheelchair.”
He can be a great actor or entertainer or child saving hero , but when your beliefs become harmful to others the previous is negated in my opinion .
Tom Cruise makes good movies but the best thing about him is he stays behind for hours and hours to sign autographs.

Tom Cruise might be crazy, but at the end of the day he makes entertaining movies, and does his own stunts. He is damn near 60, and is in better shape than most people half his age. I also agree with him on the drug issue it definitely masks the problem. This is from personal experience. It is a tool to ease the stress, from a painful experience while the therapist slowly gets to the root of it. It is a tool that can be abused though.
Damn f***ing right no matter what he is a legend
Most people, myself included. Don't have a root issue, its anxiety caused from a physical disability that is not found.
It plays Ali style rope a dope, with doctors throwing punches and the final diagnosis dodging. Until they give up. and you are stuck with accepting it, and the only way you can function from pain is through medication.
Thats the reality. Its fucking sad man.
@@greyhat9720 yeah it is sad . I dealt with depression in my teens and was medicated for it. I was taking Prozac, felt better, but i quit taking it at the end because i didn't want to be addicted to it.
Drugs CAN mask the problem, but they are often also part of the solution for many people. The world isn't black and white. It's like saying food masks the problem of hunger, or that food is inherently bad because some people abuse it. Read "Behave" by Robert Sapolsky for 700 page primer on the neurobiology of human behavior.

It is true that drugs often only address the symptoms, but like, say, back pain, where inflammation can cause pain, which makes you move in a way that weakens or strengthens one side, which further causes impingement on a nerve that causes pain.
Address the symptoms; maybe things will get better.
Maybe not, but you have to try.
I like Tom, he is passionate about everything he does. He spot on about this topic...
More like empathize with others and is a very moody determined talented individual.
