Tom Cruise has been further criticized for slamming the consumption of drugs used to treat depression during a recent TV interview - by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

The mental health organization has accused the 'War of the Worlds' star of behaving irresponsibly for labeling anti-depressant drugs a "pseudo science" during an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show last week.

In a statement, the APA says: "It was irresponsible for Mr. Cruise to use his movie publicity tour to promote his own ideological views... (and) deter people with mental illness from getting the help they need."

As a person who has used anti-depressants for a number of years now (and taken a 6-8 month break in between to see if life truly was better without the chemicals) I'm really offended by pretty much everything that Tom Cruise has done in the last year or so. I once respected him as an actor and as a person. Sure, he has views that are different than mine, but I could always respect that. The fact that he now feels he has to cut down everyone around him, and lash out about things of which he has no knowledge really makes me angry. Hey Tom - you lost a fan of your movies. When you get pregnant and deal with raging hormones and depression, you give me a call. I'll cry you a river.
