I think I'm a bit more knowledgeable about the subject than most. Including a nutjob of an actor who follows a religion devised by a writer trying to avoid criminal charges involving practicing medicine without a license. Given the choice between Tom Cruise and the practice of psychiatry, I'll take psychiatry any day. At least psychiatry has the myth of scientific legitimacy. Even the most skeptical honest evaluation of the effectiveness of psychotheraputic treamtent shows that in a nutshell psychotherapy works, it works even better when combined with psychiatric treatment. That's what the data shows and shows quite strongly. That holds no matter how many couches Tom Cruise jumps up and down on and goes through major temper tantrums about the topic. The thing is that if you look at his agenda, I'd rather trust the pharmaceutical industry. At least they are more honest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:262932 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
