“Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.” Ted Kaczynski
I got akathisia from these neurotoxins. I lost my job, lost all my good feelings, lost my memory, have severe cog damage, have numb skin, burning brain, rage, personality changes, vomiting, weight gain, suicidal ideation and so much more. If you're reading this, STAY AWAY FROM THESE DRUGS!
I use to think he was crazy when he first said this, I was also on medication at the time and thought they were helping lol. Then they hurt me... I took them as prescribed there was no abuse. I was on a benzo and ssri, healing from them while being gaslit by the medical community traumatized me, I started asking why this was common and then I moved to psychiatry and the DSM editions, Tom is right he's 100%.these medications should only be used short term maxand psychiatry needs to be completely removed forever
I've personally had some benefits with a small dose of alprazolam but my Dr doesn't like giving it very often and tries to give me Fluoxitine or whatever that SSRI Is, and I don't even try it I'm too concerned.
Anorexic during my teens and admitted to psychiatric units where I was heavily drugged for a total of 27 months, and forced to continue taking my medicine after that. I had adult doses 4 times a day even when I was skinny. I remember verbally wrestling everyday against my mom to not take them because I didnt want to be drugged, but she would blindly trust the psychiatrists, who I had told her were mistreating me back there. She herself had been mistreated by doctors with her own mysterious illness (fibromyalgia) and given heavy treatments that never worked until she started to go out and make friends (the root of this physically debilitating illness being purely psychological). Anyway. I was a brilliant kid with a brilliant future ahead but I have struggled in college and have gone through years of joblessness. I am feeling like I was robbed of my potential. Constant brainfogs and bipolar symptoms and sleep issues (narcolepsy, insomnia or hypersomnia, alternatively) definitely caused by those medicines. I'm quite sure that psychiatry has ruined my life but I will never be able to prove it.
This is the same story for hundreds of thousands of people who have been in the hands of psychiatry/mental health professionals. I've personally seen dozens of ppl with similar experiences. Those in support will always say "you just need more help". Or "they not-alived cuz they probably needed more medication. See, they really did need those pills. They pewed up a school!", when the meds are the obvious cause, not a coincidence. I'm sorry for you and everyone else who was forced into such a traumatic experience
Tom Cruise is 100% correct.. I was anti-depressants for 10 years and by the end I was like a zombie, took me 2 years to come off the things, so addictive and they fuck up,your body. Exercise, eating well are the key ingredients to good mental health.
@@michaelrey2159 it’s far from an anecdote. The side effects can fuck people up permanently. Pssd is a very serious issue. Losing the 10 best years of your life to some pharmaceutical scam is a damaging experience and should not be so easily dismissed. Big pharma is an evil entity.
@@khakimzhanmiras antidepressants have helped me a lot, they have also helped my father. One thing you and other like you dont realize is that they are not magical pills to make you "okay" magically. Every single person who takes a type of medication for their mental health, needs to do the stuff you mentioned as well.
I've had antidepressants and benzos for depression and crippling anxiety. Felt good for a little while, not feeling anything. But it didn't solve single thing. Boxing is what really "saved" me. It's all about picking yourself up (no shame in asking for help there), expressing yourself, building your confidence. No pill could ever do that. Besides, getting off benzos was hell for me. Felt worse than the panic attacks I was taking them for.
@@ProbablyRicky I'm in a benzo support group, it does not help people long term. It helps 0 people long term. It's as good as a painkiller which allows respite but doesn't help the underlying issues.
@@ProbablyRicky What it does is it makes the symptoms go away but it doesn't do anything to solve the root cause of the problem. At the end of the day you're just prescribing highly addictive substances to people who aren't mentally stable. That can't be good in the long run
It’s scientifically proven that antidepressants destroy empathy. In a society that is already much more psychopathic than you are that can help you to „fit in“ better. But at what price?

@@gone.golfing Just mirror all the statements to get an idea of a reasonable course of action and let everyone decide for themselves about their likes and DISLIKES ... ok, that was while keeping the displayed YT evaluations in mind ;) :)
@@gone.golfing This is not a problem. - I know a lot of people who have no clue ... But maybe you would like to share your experience of how the drug you mentioned changed your behavior and thinking?!? Are you more obedient (and less innovative) now? Have you increased worship (while reducing constructive criticism)? Why would anyone want to interfere with body chemistry and processes?!? Ultimately, it all boils down to communicating and negotiating wants and dislikes. The question therefore arises as to the framework conditions under which the evolutionary development should ideally take place. The result of the negotiations then leads to the formation of groups that are happy to support each other. What is particularly important for a productive environment is that opponents avoid each other as much as possible. Otherwise, only destructive processes will arise and be fostered ...
This is true most of people who committed sucide areon antidepressants, they just mask problem so people around them think they are cured but in reality victim just feel more alone and lost BC everyone now want to see them happy or changed because of medications but they can't feel happy even after antidepressants. Trust me on this antidepressants and electrica shocks destroyed my life . Or else don't trust on me you really don't deserve to be intelligent.

He isn't an advocate, he is an actor. But he did a great job advocating here. He was led into some stupid questioning, as if a lawyer would lead someone down. But he held his own and stuck to his beliefs. That is a good man.
It's likely that the prescription you got isn't an ideal fit, and there are other contributing factors. There are many other people who do benefit from taking antidepressants. Most importantly, you're still alive.
Very true mk . Life as someone who has mental health problems, taking medication is about achieving a balance. No body wants to rely on tablets. The mass majority of people who take anti depression drugs know they have to take make an effort past the tablets andto take care of themselves mentally
As someone who started taking antidepressants almost a year ago, slowly have started to get off them and is doing great right now, he was wrong. You just need a better fit of medication. There are years of research done and you choose to believe an actor who is in a cult. We really are doomed

I've never seen main stream media do a story on any of the studies showing a massive link between physical health and mental health. I'm not fan of Tom but I will always give him props for having the courage to tell the truth about this subject.
Tom Cruise is absolutely right! As a person suffering from depression and anxiety for almost a decade, I can say almost certainly that drugs doesn’t work when it comes to mental illness. It never cures the problem, sure it makes you feel relaxed for a time being, but it only masks the problem. Instead often cases, it aggravates the problem even more to a point where you can not live without drugs anymore! And any kind of withdrawal effect drives you crazy and drives you to the point of taking your own life! So Tom Cruise here is absolutely right.
@@gone.golfing @Antara Anika Piya Drugs do indeed work for mental illnesses. You just don't want to believe that because you fell for the lies and Woo Woo BS of Scientology. You do realize that Tom Cruise is a cult member, right?
@@gone.golfing its either suffer or literally change and become emotionless and dead especially on adderal for kids who cant focus its disgusting i would never let my kid take any medication for adhd anyone who suffers from adhd hates adderal it changes them
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you Wrecking my health was before Paxil. When I was super depressed and anxious all the time which definitely isn’t good. Now when on Paxil, I can focus and function and not panic about every little thing. And it’s proven that low serotonin leads to anxiety and depression.
Funny thing is people making fun of Tom Cruise but if you look at the commercials for antidepressants that can actually give you thoughts of suicide so how does that help with depression if you can commit suicide?
"this particular thing helped her feel better..." Hell you could say the same thing about cigarettes or even heroin but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to use them.
I mean he's not wrong lol I had suicidal depression and best way of getting over it was just that getting over it. Anti depressant only made things worse and Ritalin for kids has always been awful.
@Marsh Ritalin is not awful for kids who have ADHD. You're a Mentalist piece of crap, as a person with ADHD myself I find your Pseudo-scientific hatred against psychiatric drugs to be offensive.
100% agree with Tom Cruise! We need more people like you! How can they still medicate childrens, etc and mess with their lives! They should face criminal charges!
Honestly, believing this and eventually getting off sertraline and later strattera allowed me to get to the real roots of my problems and be happy and have goals and stuff. I think it's possible it helps people the same way dayquil helps someone who's sick, which can give you the extra barrier you need to figure out the problem before you get off of it and live a good life.
ThAnk you!!!! I was shocked 24 times mostly against my will. When I refused. I was conserved for a year!!! I have permanent short term memory damage. I have a very high IQ otherwise I would be completely indigent!!!
I remember how much flak he got for this . Sure he sounds a bit arrogant. But when you are really right about something, and you know it, you do sound arrogant! I grew up in the times when cocaine was thought to be awesome, when pot was thought to be natural and good, and when getting drunk was funny and cool. And I always spoke out against it. I lost girlfriends because I didn't want to "party". Oh, excuse me, I would rather build a business and own a home when I was 23 than get hammered constantly. And I was arrogant when I said "you know, you poke your nervous system enough times, your nervous system will someday poke you back". Oh, I was so arrogant. So what did I observe in my life? My two best friends from high school. One started out doing pot. Then he moved up to cocaine. Many multi step programs to get clean. Then? Turned to alcohol because it was cheap and easy to get. Total personality change. Total liar--day drunk. Lost his job. Refused to listen to his doctor, dead at 59. My other friend from high school. Alcoholic since college. In 1985 he worked for TRW making $65,000 a year at the age of 25. Think of that. That would be $178k today. Because he was super smart and worked hard. But he could never get alcohol off his back. He lost his job at TRW, he worked independently for smaller companies. The last time I saw him he walked in kind of a shuffle, and worked at a small software company in San Diego. He died a year later, his sister told me she went to see him and he was a shriveled up old man. He was 55. My best friend out of college was a brilliant piano player. He was fascinated with pot. I would leave when he got high, as his personality changed and I didn't want to be around him or the drugs. He then "gateway-ed", and I watched it so don't anyone dare say it does not happen, into heroin and cocaine. Anything for fun. When he started to feel the dangers of those drugs, he gateway-ed to alcohol....easier to get...legal and cheap. He went 20 years as a functioning alcoholic. He called me for the last time, said he was so tired of having no money and no future. I had conversations like this intermittently with him for decades. Finally he was serious. The day after that last phone call, he jumped off the roof of his apartment building in San Diego. My friend's son has lost his way with drugs, still lives at home at 35 with no job. His parents don't want to talk about it. Two other families we know have sons that are in their 30s and don't work, both big pot heads. I am so tired of being right about this. I would rather be wrong when I say that those like this still alive will die of it, and they will not change. I wish I was wrong. But I know I am not.
No he isn't, he's wrong; there is a plethora of evidence of pharmacological efficacy in all duration. It would be irresponsible and unscientific to contest otherwise as the evidence is there for neurology, sociological, and psychological. What often happens is that the layman wants to believe that they are masters of their consciousness, able to live healthy without any sort of pharmaceutical assistance, but this is a folly because we're all biological beings - some of us accept this, others have the battle with themselves. What he's really masking is what he represents; a cult which profits off of being anti-science. Do you support that? Are you anti-science?
@@MK-11111 I know right. Tom Cruise is a Psychotic moron. He doesn't understand how Psychiatry works. It's not just about prescribing medications, but it is also about adding in psychotherapy with your medication treatment. But then again what do you expect with Tom Cruise? He is indoctrinated in the bat shit crazy "Religion" that is Scientology.
@@MK-11111 there is literally no evidence. All the “evidence” was provided/funded by the producers of the drugs. Even that is shaky. They twist the data to make their drug seem effective. Big pharma is peddling highly addictive substances to vulnerable people, ruining their lives.
@@khakimzhanmiras There is literally mounds of evidence, and none of it is accepted unless it is NOT funded by their producers. Only someone who knows nothing about academia and pharma would say that. You just did. Big pharma doesn't mind control people because, if they did, the world would be very different. The truth is that big pharma are a bunch of idiot boomers just selling whatever people want to people who don't know anything. Now go take your advil.
@@itsourlife I understood it around 2006, because i went under treatment and medication for different "conditions" just because these stupid doctors diagnose different conditions at differrnt time. I was almost a vegetable and i myself quit the treatment to get back in life. Connect with Nature! That's the only way to stay sane and healthy!!
He fucking wasn't. If it wasn't for psychiatrists, ppl like me and my colleagues, who have GENETIC Mental illness that can't be treated with anything but interference in our body, some of us (for sure me) would be 5 feet under the dirt
Tom is speaking truth! Period! …used to be that smoking cigarettes was the biggest regret of my life, it’s now pushed to number 2. Taking Psychiatric medication (at one point 5 of them) at the same time…. McGill University Doctor Biggest regret of my life hands down no contest. Love to Tom and Scientologists they’re speaking truth about this subject in my opinion and I’m not ashamed to speak of it.
I can only speak from personal experience I had major depression in high school about 2019 I went to a psychiatrist and he wanted me on a new drug every time I went in ( mind you I was 17 at the time ) and these drugs had really bad side effects the side effects only caused worse problems one of which was extremely bad sleep paralysis I even attempted suicide by trying to overdose on one of these drugs that my psychiatrist prescribed because i was still depressed and nothing was working. I eventually stopped taking the drugs cold turkey because I was so angry that didn’t work and still to this day fight depression. Long story short I don’t believe they work personally and these drugs being handed out to people especially at such a young age are extremely dangerous i may still be depressed but getting off those meds was the best decision I ever made and I agree with what Tom said in this interview
You are 100% correct Tom. Lithium is the only one you can't get from food and maybe there is a food you can get it from, but I've seen people who were on Lithium for 20 yrs turned to a healthy holistic life and live well. Saved their kidney
I disagree with him on Scientology, however he is spot on on psychiatric drugs. I was prescribed diazepam, a benzodiazepine that is commonly known as valium. I took it for a few short months, every second to third day or so, sometimes daily, but not everyday, just when I needed it (I felt). One dose was 5-10mg, a relatively small dose. I got physically dependent on the drug. Two years after abruptly withdrawing from it (don't do that, always taper off slowly) I am still suffering from debilitating symptoms because of the damage the drug did. A year ago the symptoms were so bad that I went to to a psychiatric hospital. I had a long talk with the doctor there. We talked, and eventually she said "We'll take you in. In a few weeks. Until then, take this" - and she handed me a handful of pills I had never seen before. Apparently, they're a strong and potent antipsychotic. I did not get a formal prescription. She just handed them to me and saion't tell anyone I gave you this. Try it out at home". Imagine if anything happened. She could have washed her hands of any guilt, and nobody would've believed me. I didn't take that garbage. I didn't need it. The symptoms I was suffering from (derealization/depersonalization, intense anxiety, insomnia, depression, despair, nerve pain, slight paranoia...) are all known benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms. Btw, psychiatry claims benzo withdrawal lasts a 3-4 weeks to maybe 3-4 months. Not true. Most people, if they go the cold turkey route, suffer from acute horrific withdrawal symptoms for 3-6 weeks, then they suffer for potentially years from anxiety, nerve pain, derealization/depersonalization, ocd, etc. etc. Doctors dismiss you. They just send you to another psychiatrist, who then wants to put you in antidepressants or more anti-anxiety medication, which is just another benzo. Be smart. Protect yourself. Inform yourself about these things. Don't take any drug without doing your own research. Never take a drug unless you have exhausted other means of dealing with the problem. Don't just trust a doctor and take the drug when it comes to psychiatric drugs. Make sure you research it. Doctors aren't pharmacists, they don't know much about drugs at all. Hell, even many pharmacists couldn't really tell you much about these things.
People dying from benzo withdrawals is a fairly common occurence. Some of the permanent or long lasting effects you are experiencing might have been mitigated if you tapered off the drug instead of quitting cold turkey which was an insanely reckless thing to do. You put your CNS into a state of shock because it was not used to functioning without the drug due to chronic administration (Valiums half life is extremely long).
@@fiubnl4990 Absolutely. I regret going cold turkey. I did it out of pure desparation and naivete. I had this mindset of "Screw this, I gotta get through this for a few weeks and be done with it". Only after I had already endured three weeks of acute withdrawal did I finally do some proper research and find out that it would probably be a much longer, painful process. I am much better now, 30 months later.
@@iWillWakeYouUp Fantastic that you are doing better. Benzo withdrawal is some scary shit, wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemy. How carelessly these drugs are prescribed is honestly frightening.
I too dislike Scientology and view it as a cult as well as a billion dollar business venture. But they are spot on when it comes to psychiatry. A lot of times those of us who are anti psychiatry are assumed to be Scientologists. Scientologists are not the only people against psychiatry. Personally I am a pagan and energy worker. I am in the process of tapering off the last of my psychiatric medications...AND I am doing so without the cooperation of my psychiatric nurse, who refuses to help me do so. She keeps coming up with a different bullshit reason why she won't take me off every time I broach the subject with her. They're all for prescribing them when you in your ignorance think it's a solution, but they'll be damned if they are gonna help you get off.
Presently, that's true. It was not always the case however. A friend had a breakdown and was committed about 25 yrs ago. Her behavior was more licentious than psychotic but her family were very religious. She was given strong drugs and ECT. One of her few recollections of the ordeal is that she didn't have the capacity to understand ECT but just wanted to get out of there & stop the treatment. Her intelligence is diminished and it took her years to accept what had been done to her.
@@milhousevanhouten9136 well they're saying ritalin is a street drug, which is prescribed. So why not Tylenol 3, which is also prescribed and bought on street markets? It's a stupid argument.
@@MK-11111 Tylenol 3 has codeine right? Kinda misleading to say Tylenol 3 is a street drug when it's not, opioids are. And no one really does Tylenol 3, people do codeine and promethazine syrup. No one gets high off just codeine. So Tylenol's not a street drug. But amphetamines are.
Whiteout those drugs my mum would not be alive today. So I’m thankful Tom cruse sticked to acting instead of killing a lot of people with his „knowledge“.
I am very happy to know that your mom is well thanks to these drugs, this is a case of success, but there are many others in which the people who were treated with these drugs end up worse than they started because they only treat the SYMPTOMS (depression ), but they never treat them why that depression was generated which is the important thing!
@@mauriciorosiles6461 yea I’m not arguing with that. The psychological treatment is as important as the drugs. But there are more illnesses than depression. There are are a lot of psychological problems that come for example from hormonal imbalances. In those cases the drug are not only for the symptoms. Plus if you have any other not mental disease you would take drugs against the symptoms, too. Still you need treatment but it helps to get trough it. I don’t know how it works in Amerika to be honest but in Germany you would not get those drugs without treatment. Sorry English is not my first language. I hope everything I wrote makes sense.😊
@@mauriciorosiles6461 my father and his whole side of the family have depression. I have depression as well, it's in our blood. What is the root cause? My brian is wired that way, it's just the way my brain has always worked. How could they treat the root cause? You cant change someone's brain wiring, you can only help it get more "normal" which antidepressants have done for us
When this was originally covered by news outlets, they released an edited version, that made it look like he was getting pissed off, and repeating things for no reason. The unedited version has always sounded logical and accurate. But you had to actively seek it out 15 years ago or whatever. Everyone knows sum1 whos been fukd up by psychiatry. Or is now dead, after being prescribed meds, or trying to detox from them. Literally like 19 out of 20 mass shooters have been on, or recently off psychiatric meds. Biggest lobbying group in the country, and they advertise everywhere, in every way possible. All to make their stock holders filthy rich
If your doctor doesn't recommend either/all - vitamins, number of sleep hours, exercise and healthy eating habits, but will quickly fire you up a script - find a new doctor or ask them what the exit plan is upon filling the script. There is a generation our there that are being experimented on with no long term data on SSRI's starting while the child is 10-13 years old
Besides being a great entertainer, this is probably the greatest gift Tom has given others and his confrontation of the host was needed to shake everyone up to do their research.
Without antidepressants, you have to face your depression and overcome it by yourself. Not everyone has this capacity and strength. So really is up to each one to choose psychiatry medicines or not. Freedom of choice, that's all.
I don't know if he's a good or bad person, but here he's definitely being a good person. I hope he was able to save some people from those greedy, lying, selfish, Satan-worshipping psychiatrists with his message.
what they're arguing is philosophy. There's a problem at hand, Matt believes taking a drug that significantly alters your personality for the rest of your life is a reasonable price if it means being well-adjusted -- while Tom believes you should find other ways. Personally I agree with Tom, we all live with more or less severe psychiatric problems, making yourself a sexless zombie (the way drugs make you) isn't the answer. The answer is to understand that life is a struggle, and motivate yourself to reduce that struggle and maximize joy. Some may say a dumb cow is happier than a human, but maybe the point of life isn't to avoid misery -- it's to not let it get the upper hand. Anyway say what you want about Tom but he's very precise and intellectual here.
@@scotscub76 yeah, you're right. Psychiatric medicines and all allopathic medicines for that matter are for sick people at the end of their lives. Healthy people should choose herbal alternatives over these chemicals to lead a happy life.
@@gopigeeone8061 Alternative "medicine" doesn't work. You are indoctrinated in a pseudo-scientifc Religion. Until you have proof that Alternative "medicine" work, you have no idea what you are talking about.
He's got a pretty extreme viewpoint but that doesn't mean there's no truth to it. There are psychiatrists who believe the profession has taken a very wrong turn in prescribing drugs with damaging side-effects to treat conditions that are not well understood. That doesn't mean there's no such thing as chemical imbalances but that we're some way from understanding precisely why people develop e.g. ADHD and finding more elegant and targeted solutions. Pity he joined a cult.
Stop labeling things with the words: extreme, racist, fundamental, conspiracy and etc. If we stop using those political correct words everytime, then we can talk about the errors in the world like adults are supposed to do by using our own brain instead of parroting the TV every single time
American's used holistic medicines for decades.When allopathic medicine was introduced in the late 19th century the big foundations got involved and the holistic approach was gradually pushed out. All members of the AMA had to use allopathic treatments.Holistic doctors were shunned, no longer could they be members of the AMA. Money was the main reason for this change as big pharma was born. Was it the right path to take? Tom doesn't seem to think so.
There both right. It's helped alot of people as well as hurt. It may not always be the meds as much as it is the therapist giving them wrong meds or just plain experimenting on them with meds. It's not black and white.
He doesn't know about TMS though. Was being studied in the 90s, FDA approved after this video(late 2000s). Non invasive treatment using magnetic pulses towards the dlpfc for patients where antidepressants hasn't work or doesn't want to be on them anymore.
Half and half on this. On one hand, many drugs cause more harm than good. On the other many people including myself need certain medicines to function properly.
No tom aint wrong but neither is the Western medicine approach He found his. Niche in a big way But that could have been. What gelped tom feel better Also Western psychiatric treatment is both dark and still very much in infancy and. Has changed and exponentially continues to change I appreciate toms point of view he offers to future society He is thinking about the better or even best existence And whether or not he is wrong or right u must respect his will to go above and beyond in a new thinking on things is not dangerous its bold yet u can not deny once new ideas are contemplated the opportunity for the the realm we live in and the opportunities within it the whole paradigm changes once you consider a new way of thinking and I got to respect that he is he's fiercely and believing that there is a possibility that there could be some proof to it I find that my serotonin levels are boosted good by Zoloft but you know whatever I had took all the other stuff too but it ain't the answer to everything necessarily in a pill and it's like leaves much to be desired of courselook Tom's in a unique position being as successful as he has been regardless of anything you want to say about his background religion blah blah blah blah blah personal you know what we're all people he has a unique position where he can ponder things that most of us just wouldn't probably give that vantage point we don't have the correct trajectory to think that way but perhaps there is merit to what he's driving at you guys don't don't just rule it out because he sounds like he's a little jazzed to me it sounds like he's very passionate he is he is what do you call he is devoted to the idea that things can be better and he's not wrong he's just trying to say don't sell yourself short before the fact especially don't be in a hurry to do it
2023 CBS Sunday Morning: "An Australian study finds that regular exercise improves symptoms of depression and an anxiety and may be more effective than drug therapy for the treatment of mental illness".

Tom Cruise is 100% correct.. I was anti-depressants for 10 years and by the end I was like a zombie, took me 2 years to come off the things, so addictive and they fuck up,your body. Exercise, eating well are the key ingredients to good mental health.
So he's "absolutely" right because of your experience? Wow.
You cannot generalize an entire field based on your own anecdote.
@@michaelrey2159 it’s far from an anecdote. The side effects can fuck people up permanently. Pssd is a very serious issue. Losing the 10 best years of your life to some pharmaceutical scam is a damaging experience and should not be so easily dismissed. Big pharma is an evil entity.
@@khakimzhanmiras antidepressants have helped me a lot, they have also helped my father.
One thing you and other like you dont realize is that they are not magical pills to make you "okay" magically.
Every single person who takes a type of medication for their mental health, needs to do the stuff you mentioned as well.
Anti depressants are addictive. I know first hand adderall is but I didn't know anti depressants were
I've had antidepressants and benzos for depression and crippling anxiety. Felt good for a little while, not feeling anything. But it didn't solve single thing. Boxing is what really "saved" me. It's all about picking yourself up (no shame in asking for help there), expressing yourself, building your confidence. No pill could ever do that. Besides, getting off benzos was hell for me. Felt worse than the panic attacks I was taking them for.
Benzos work to kill a panic attack on the spot, they do not treat anything. It is insane to just prescribe it casually to people.
ok but thats you. medication helps a lot of people.
@@ProbablyRicky I'm in a benzo support group, it does not help people long term. It helps 0 people long term. It's as good as a painkiller which allows respite but doesn't help the underlying issues.
@@ProbablyRicky What it does is it makes the symptoms go away but it doesn't do anything to solve the root cause of the problem. At the end of the day you're just prescribing highly addictive substances to people who aren't mentally stable. That can't be good in the long run
It’s scientifically proven that antidepressants destroy empathy. In a society that is already much more psychopathic than you are that can help you to „fit in“ better. But at what price?

Ultimately, it all boils down to communicating and negotiating wants and dislikes. The question therefore arises as to the framework conditions under which the evolutionary development should ideally take place. The result of the negotiations then leads to the formation of groups that are happy to support each other. What is particularly important for a productive environment is that opponents avoid each other as much as possible.
Otherwise, only destructive processes will arise and be fostered ...
He’s is absolutely and 100% spot on. Anti depressants don’t get to the root cause and they just mask the symptoms. End off.

Tom is certainly right, these drugs can make conditions even worse; Exercise, sleep and little bit of egotism would be the way to go!
Who is here in 2022 after that peer-reviewed meta-analysis. Eh?
Yup
As someone who started taking antidepressants at age 14 and is still on them over 18 years later, Tom was right.
It's likely that the prescription you got isn't an ideal fit, and there are other contributing factors. There are many other people who do benefit from taking antidepressants. Most importantly, you're still alive.
Very true mk . Life as someone who has mental health problems, taking medication is about achieving a balance. No body wants to rely on tablets. The mass majority of people who take anti depression drugs know they have to take make an effort past the tablets andto take care of themselves mentally
As someone who started taking antidepressants almost a year ago, slowly have started to get off them and is doing great right now, he was wrong.
You just need a better fit of medication. There are years of research done and you choose to believe an actor who is in a cult. We really are doomed

Tom Cruise is absolutely right! As a person suffering from depression and anxiety for almost a decade, I can say almost certainly that drugs doesn’t work when it comes to mental illness. It never cures the problem, sure it makes you feel relaxed for a time being, but it only masks the problem. Instead often cases, it aggravates the problem even more to a point where you can not live without drugs anymore! And any kind of withdrawal effect drives you crazy and drives you to the point of taking your own life! So Tom Cruise here is absolutely right.
So you’d rather suffer even more? Can’t believe you even let yourself suffer for almost a decade?

Now when on Paxil, I can focus and function and not panic about every little thing. And it’s proven that low serotonin leads to anxiety and depression.
Funny thing is people making fun of Tom Cruise but if you look at the commercials for antidepressants that can actually give you thoughts of suicide so how does that help with depression if you can commit suicide?
I used to think Tom was a bit “aggressive” here. Now I respect him for being so collected and not slapping the interviewer in the face.

“Psychiatric abuse”. Such an accurate choice of words.
ThAnk you!!!! I was shocked 24 times mostly against my will. When I refused. I was conserved for a year!!! I have permanent short term memory damage. I have a very high IQ otherwise I would be completely indigent!!!
I remember how much flak he got for this . Sure he sounds a bit arrogant. But when you are really right about something, and you know it, you do sound arrogant!
I grew up in the times when cocaine was thought to be awesome, when pot was thought to be natural and good, and when getting drunk was funny and cool. And I always spoke out against it. I lost girlfriends because I didn't want to "party". Oh, excuse me, I would rather build a business and own a home when I was 23 than get hammered constantly. And I was arrogant when I said "you know, you poke your nervous system enough times, your nervous system will someday poke you back". Oh, I was so arrogant.
So what did I observe in my life?
My two best friends from high school. One started out doing pot. Then he moved up to cocaine. Many multi step programs to get clean. Then? Turned to alcohol because it was cheap and easy to get. Total personality change. Total liar--day drunk. Lost his job. Refused to listen to his doctor, dead at 59.
My other friend from high school. Alcoholic since college. In 1985 he worked for TRW making $65,000 a year at the age of 25. Think of that. That would be $178k today. Because he was super smart and worked hard. But he could never get alcohol off his back. He lost his job at TRW, he worked independently for smaller companies. The last time I saw him he walked in kind of a shuffle, and worked at a small software company in San Diego. He died a year later, his sister told me she went to see him and he was a shriveled up old man. He was 55.
My best friend out of college was a brilliant piano player. He was fascinated with pot. I would leave when he got high, as his personality changed and I didn't want to be around him or the drugs. He then "gateway-ed", and I watched it so don't anyone dare say it does not happen, into heroin and cocaine. Anything for fun. When he started to feel the dangers of those drugs, he gateway-ed to alcohol....easier to get...legal and cheap.
He went 20 years as a functioning alcoholic. He called me for the last time, said he was so tired of having no money and no future. I had conversations like this intermittently with him for decades. Finally he was serious. The day after that last phone call, he jumped off the roof of his apartment building in San Diego.
My friend's son has lost his way with drugs, still lives at home at 35 with no job. His parents don't want to talk about it. Two other families we know have sons that are in their 30s and don't work, both big pot heads.
I am so tired of being right about this. I would rather be wrong when I say that those like this still alive will die of it, and they will not change. I wish I was wrong. But I know I am not.
He is right about masking the problem tho
No he isn't, he's wrong; there is a plethora of evidence of pharmacological efficacy in all duration. It would be irresponsible and unscientific to contest otherwise as the evidence is there for neurology, sociological, and psychological. What often happens is that the layman wants to believe that they are masters of their consciousness, able to live healthy without any sort of pharmaceutical assistance, but this is a folly because we're all biological beings - some of us accept this, others have the battle with themselves.
What he's really masking is what he represents; a cult which profits off of being anti-science. Do you support that? Are you anti-science?
@@MK-11111 I know right. Tom Cruise is a Psychotic moron. He doesn't understand how Psychiatry works. It's not just about prescribing medications, but it is also about adding in psychotherapy with your medication treatment. But then again what do you expect with Tom Cruise?

I'd argue being depressed masks the problem and being on antidepressants actually gives you the cognitive ability to take on your problems.
@@MK-11111 there is literally no evidence. All the “evidence” was provided/funded by the producers of the drugs. Even that is shaky. They twist the data to make their drug seem effective.

2:53 If Tom Cruise calls you by your name, you know you're in trouble!
I can only speak from personal experience I had major depression in high school about 2019 I went to a psychiatrist and he wanted me on a new drug every time I went in ( mind you I was 17 at the time ) and these drugs had really bad side effects the side effects only caused worse problems one of which was extremely bad sleep paralysis I even attempted suicide by trying to overdose on one of these drugs that my psychiatrist prescribed because i was still depressed and nothing was working. I eventually stopped taking the drugs cold turkey because I was so angry that didn’t work and still to this day fight depression. Long story short I don’t believe they work personally and these drugs being handed out to people especially at such a young age are extremely dangerous i may still be depressed but getting off those meds was the best decision I ever made and I agree with what Tom said in this interview
I had a similar experience. I was like a zombie on meds.
You are 100% correct Tom. Lithium is the only one you can't get from food and maybe there is a food you can get it from, but I've seen people who were on Lithium for 20 yrs turned to a healthy holistic life and live well. Saved their kidney
I disagree with him on Scientology, however he is spot on on psychiatric drugs.
I was prescribed diazepam, a benzodiazepine that is commonly known as valium. I took it for a few short months, every second to third day or so, sometimes daily, but not everyday, just when I needed it (I felt). One dose was 5-10mg, a relatively small dose.
I got physically dependent on the drug. Two years after abruptly withdrawing from it (don't do that, always taper off slowly) I am still suffering from debilitating symptoms because of the damage the drug did. A year ago the symptoms were so bad that I went to to a psychiatric hospital. I had a long talk with the doctor there. We talked, and eventually she said "We'll take you in. In a few weeks. Until then, take this" - and she handed me a handful of pills I had never seen before. Apparently, they're a strong and potent antipsychotic. I did not get a formal prescription. She just handed them to me and saion't tell anyone I gave you this. Try it out at home". Imagine if anything happened. She could have washed her hands of any guilt, and nobody would've believed me. I didn't take that garbage. I didn't need it. The symptoms I was suffering from (derealization/depersonalization, intense anxiety, insomnia, depression, despair, nerve pain, slight paranoia...) are all known benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms. Btw, psychiatry claims benzo withdrawal lasts a 3-4 weeks to maybe 3-4 months. Not true. Most people, if they go the cold turkey route, suffer from acute horrific withdrawal symptoms for 3-6 weeks, then they suffer for potentially years from anxiety, nerve pain, derealization/depersonalization, ocd, etc. etc. Doctors dismiss you. They just send you to another psychiatrist, who then wants to put you in antidepressants or more anti-anxiety medication, which is just another benzo.
Be smart. Protect yourself. Inform yourself about these things. Don't take any drug without doing your own research. Never take a drug unless you have exhausted other means of dealing with the problem. Don't just trust a doctor and take the drug when it comes to psychiatric drugs. Make sure you research it. Doctors aren't pharmacists, they don't know much about drugs at all. Hell, even many pharmacists couldn't really tell you much about these things.
they give u no choice but to take it. it is you against the power of the state.
People dying from benzo withdrawals is a fairly common occurence. Some of the permanent or long lasting effects you are experiencing might have been mitigated if you tapered off the drug instead of quitting cold turkey which was an insanely reckless thing to do. You put your CNS into a state of shock because it was not used to functioning without the drug due to chronic administration (Valiums half life is extremely long).
@@fiubnl4990 Absolutely. I regret going cold turkey. I did it out of pure desparation and naivete. I had this mindset of "Screw this, I gotta get through this for a few weeks and be done with it". Only after I had already endured three weeks of acute withdrawal did I finally do some proper research and find out that it would probably be a much longer, painful process.
I am much better now, 30 months later.
@@iWillWakeYouUp Fantastic that you are doing better. Benzo withdrawal is some scary shit, wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemy. How carelessly these drugs are prescribed is honestly frightening.
I too dislike Scientology and view it as a cult as well as a billion dollar business venture. But they are spot on when it comes to psychiatry. A lot of times those of us who are anti psychiatry are assumed to be Scientologists. Scientologists are not the only people against psychiatry. Personally I am a pagan and energy worker. I am in the process of tapering off the last of my psychiatric medications...AND I am doing so without the cooperation of my psychiatric nurse, who refuses to help me do so. She keeps coming up with a different bullshit reason why she won't take me off every time I broach the subject with her. They're all for prescribing them when you in your ignorance think it's a solution, but they'll be damned if they are gonna help you get off.
Presently, that's true. It was not always the case however. A friend had a breakdown and was committed about 25 yrs ago. Her behavior was more licentious than psychotic but her family were very religious. She was given strong drugs and ECT. One of her few recollections of the ordeal is that she didn't have the capacity to understand ECT but just wanted to get out of there & stop the treatment. Her intelligence is diminished and it took her years to accept what had been done to her.
HE WAS RIGHT, PEOPLE. JUST SEE NOW IN REALITY AND I HAVE WITNESSED MYSELF.

I am very happy to know that your mom is well thanks to these drugs, this is a case of success, but there are many others in which the people who were treated with these drugs end up worse than they started because they only treat the SYMPTOMS (depression ), but they never treat them why that depression was generated which is the important thing!

Without antidepressants, you have to face your depression and overcome it by yourself. Not everyone has this capacity and strength. So really is up to each one to choose psychiatry medicines or not. Freedom of choice, that's all.

Thank you Tom Cruise
what they're arguing is philosophy. There's a problem at hand, Matt believes taking a drug that significantly alters your personality for the rest of your life is a reasonable price if it means being well-adjusted -- while Tom believes you should find other ways. Personally I agree with Tom, we all live with more or less severe psychiatric problems, making yourself a sexless zombie (the way drugs make you) isn't the answer. The answer is to understand that life is a struggle, and motivate yourself to reduce that struggle and maximize joy. Some may say a dumb cow is happier than a human, but maybe the point of life isn't to avoid misery -- it's to not let it get the upper hand. Anyway say what you want about Tom but he's very precise and intellectual here.

There are psychiatrists who believe the profession has taken a very wrong turn in prescribing drugs with damaging side-effects to treat conditions that are not well understood.

@mrbrainchild76 Religions are the forms spirituality takes. The danger of religions are mistaking the form for the substance.
American's used holistic medicines for decades.When allopathic medicine was introduced in the late 19th century the big foundations got involved and the holistic approach was gradually pushed out. All members of the AMA had to use allopathic treatments.Holistic doctors were shunned, no longer could they be members of the AMA. Money was the main reason for this change as big pharma was born. Was it the right path to take? Tom doesn't seem to think so.

And whether or not he is wrong or right u must respect his will to go above and beyond in a new thinking on things is not dangerous its bold yet u can not deny once new ideas are contemplated the opportunity for the the realm we live in and the opportunities within it the whole paradigm changes once you consider a new way of thinking and I got to respect that he is he's fiercely and believing that there is a possibility that there could be some proof to it I find that my serotonin levels are boosted good by Zoloft but you know whatever I had took all the other stuff too but it ain't the answer to everything necessarily in a pill and it's like leaves much to be desired of courselook Tom's in a unique position being as successful as he has been regardless of anything you want to say about his background religion blah blah blah blah blah personal you know what we're all people he has a unique position where he can ponder things that most of us just wouldn't probably give that vantage point we don't have the correct trajectory to think that way but perhaps there is merit to what he's driving at you guys don't don't just rule it out because he sounds like he's a little jazzed to me it sounds like he's very passionate he is he is what do you call he is devoted to the idea that things can be better and he's not wrong he's just trying to say don't sell yourself short before the fact especially don't be in a hurry to do it
2023 CBS Sunday Morning: "An Australian study finds that regular exercise improves symptoms of depression and an anxiety and may be more effective than drug therapy for the treatment of mental illness".
I didn't know his middle name was "Based"
I would like to make one final statement to summarize my previous statements and thoughts on this matterTom cruise he's living proof that fortune truly does favor the bold. Also how do we know we don't all incredible. Ideas within us but because we allowed ourselves to be sirt of assauged through gentle and. Pleasant words to resign ourselves to our. Failure or. Lack of success through seizing the most potential tom speaks not hubris but philosophy and that is a manifestation of the utmost and perhaps divine of human existence. Savor the. Moment friends
Well well well, how the turn tables
One of the most based interviews ever.
Maybe Tom should look at the CULT he is in. He should be ashamed of himself. I have respect for him.
Jazzy What cult are you in? Christianity? Atheism?. It’s all a cult to others. Don’t be a hypocrite.
Nerds Playhouse atheism isn’t a cult, it’s just being an asshole for a laugh.
u got mad? ;) hahaha
