Honestly,I don't think he understands psychology,He reads an article...whoopie stare .Although he is intitled to his opinions and beliefs...he doesn't have to shoot down everyone elses but meh, at least he's an actor and not my doctor/psychiatrist.

...wow...Cruise reminded me of a kid. You can't change a kid's mind, despite how 'uneducated' it may be. He's read some articles, yay, but he doesn't fully know psychology.
I agree with being healthy (exercise, nutrients, etc...) dose the body wonders (which is why it's healthy, duh), but even that isn't a cure all.

Science has yet to figure out if it is the chemicals in the brain which make us feel the way we do, or if it’s the way we feel which creates the chemicals. To say a chemical imbalance in the brain can’t (or even doesn’t) exist seems a bit ignorant.

However, I can see why people think drugs are not the answer. The whole good diet and exercise thing can have extremely good mental benefits, not just in how you feel about yourself, but everything. I wonder with how many of these success stories of drugs, could they have got the same effect with improved lifestyle?

I must admit though, saying you have done your research and you “know” seems ignorant to me also. How many times has science been held back by people assuming the old theory’s were right and not really challenging them because they have formed belief, almost like a religion around something which they only have limited knowledge on really?

My rant ends here...
