Cruise is quite loudly vocal against psychiatry and medication, following his own Scientology beliefs. Article this morning in The New York Times discussing his behavior. Included are still photos from Oprah, of him jumping on the couch, yelling, and grappling with her.

I've been thinking about all this, wondering if famous people have a responsibility, or not, to their audience. In my opinion, if he was being responsible, he'd advocate for choice, freedom, and the whole -different strokes for different folks- ethos.

Tom has bashed other Hollywood celebs for daring to be public about their successful use of psych meds.

My dream interview this morn would be for Carrie Fisher to interview Tom Cruise. Carrie is public about her diagnosis, her experience with meds, and all.

I believe Tom is doing himself and his audience a disservice. Psychiatry and meds might not be for him, so be it. Yet many of us have benefited.

I hope fans of Tom Cruise won't be deterrred from getting any type of help they themselves may need.
