Tom Cruise on Postpartum depression

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

Can you believe the comments Tom Cruise made on the Today show about Brooke Sheilds and her PPD, and her use of medication to treat it?!:angryfire What the heck does he know about it? I say if a woman is suicidal and visualizing her infant hitting a wall, she needs medication and counseling. I think it was very irresponsible for him to go on national television and criticize women who use medication to help them out in such a difficult time in their lives. I've never experienced PPD, only the regular "Baby Blues" and I must say during that time I wasn't able to control my emotions (esp the tears:crying2: ) and i've never been that way before. Shame on Tom...... and Kudos to Brooke for getting help.

Hey I have an idea (granted keep in mind I'm very nice and you catch more fly[s with honey type) and weird I guess,. But I bet Tom would change his tune if every post partum women who had PPD showed up on his doorstep for "education and support" let the hormones and screaming children arrive for 5 minutes and HE'LL be begging for drugs!!!!!

Thanks, Deb.........although I feel strongly enough about this subject that I would have used a somewhat harsher gesture, but I don't consider TC (or anything to do with him) worth violating the TOS. :rolleyes:

How about this "dog kick dog" image. Would that suffice as a "harsher gesture"? :rotfl:
