Cruise launches war on psychiatrists
More articles on this topic: ScientologyTom Cruise has declared a public war on psychiatrists because he fears the “pseudo-science” has led to a drug-fuelled crisis for today’s children.

The movie hunk was diagnosed as dyslexic when he was just seven, and doctors suggested he should take drugs to control his learning problems.
Memories of that part of his childhood fuelled Cruise to seek alternative ways of overcoming his dyslexia - a problem that led him to the Church of Scientology’s educational programmes.
Becoming a scientologist in 1984 made the actor look closely at the controversial religion’s anti-psychiatry stance, and he has since become a firm believer that the science and the medicating of children is wrong.
Speaking exclusively to US news show ACCESS HOLLYWOOD as part of a week-long special about his scientology beliefs, the movie hunk declares, “I’m going right after psychiatry and these false labels and this pseudo-science.
“I was diagnosed as dyslexic; I had a lot of energy as a child. They wanted to put me on drugs… Never did; my mother said no, absolutely not, no way and I’m thankful.
“Had I been put on those drugs, I never would be here today… I never would have had the career that I’m having.
“Am I making people aware of it by discussing it openly and saying what a fraud psychiatry is? You bet I am. I feel a responsibility because I care…”
The actor also maintains that poor results in education in America can be blamed on mind-altering drugs that are given to children.
He adds, “SAT (exam) scores have gone right down the toilet. The parents are blaming the teachers, the teachers are blaming the parents and the psychs are putting everyone on drugs.”
