The audacity of this movie star makes me very sick!
Who saw the interview where he called this guy 'glib'???
He kept saying again and again "You don't know the history of psychiatry" Sure, psychiatry has bad moments in the past, but so has any medical fraternity.... Also, Tom never thought to extraploate on the "past of psychiatry". He probably has read Breggin and taken it whole without questioning anything. And Breggin shows absolutely 100% bias in his "writings" There is not one part or phrase where he sees the utility of psych drugs.
Tom also started to incongruously blurt out "oh dear antipsychotics"etc etc. With regard to what Tom?
I'd like to see him handle a full blown schizophrenic in a paranoic state without AP medication. And Ritalin....OK, I'm not a big fan of that, but I doubt Tom knows how that biochemically effects the brain in different regions. He is saying it is bad because it is (supposed to be) bad....circular reasoning, Tom!
He is a movie star, not a Doctor, and his audacity is remarkable.
Many many many people have been saved from psych drugs...statistics show unequivocally it is EXTREMELY unlikely for someone to suicide while being on a AD.
Maybe Tom should go to university and do a course on neuroanatomy.
Ace.
