some celebrities have starting speaking out about their own struggles with mental illness. Their speaking out can help reduce the stigma attached to mental illness. When you get some yahoo like Tom Cruise saying that mental illness can be cured by taking vitamins, that there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance and that drugs only mask the problem, other celebrities who may have been willing to share their own story may now be reluctant to do so to avoid being berated and belittled by a putz like Tom Cruise. There is nothing I can't stand more than a know-it-all!!! Well, yes I think there is - a know-it-all who has his head up his *ss and doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. Grrrrrrr!!!!!
