Tom Cruise recently slammed fellow actor Brooke Shields for the fact that she used the antidepressant Paxil when she suffered from severe postpartum depression following the birth of her baby. He claimed that there was "no science behind" antidepressant use, that they are dangerous and that she could have recovered using just vitamins. Guess whose movie I won't be going to see when it opens June 29? Click here for the real truth about postpartum depression.

Tom. I know your too busy to listen to someone from nowhere, but let me tell you about a woman’s change of hormones once she has given birth? Unless you have had a baby, yourself, you dont know what meds work and what doesnt. I doubt vitamins can help postpartum. Some time the chemicle imballance is natural after childbirth. One doctor told me I was bipolar and fed me so many pills, untill I just basically slept. your right. sometimes these drugs arnt goood for us. however to get thoughts together and bring normal thoughts it takes haldol or paxil. DONAHUE did postpartum storys years ago. Doctor acknowleged it,but most just automattically said OH YOUR A manic, your bipolar. I went into such havoc in my mind after my kids , This was years ago now, but I’ll never forget it. For some woman, they can have a baby and have normal bouts of saddness or blues.and for others. our brain goes out of whack. I never bought into much movies of yours, but commenting of Brookes expieriecne is nasty. Its no joke what she went through, i never had thoughts of killing myself or my babies. my mind just went off somewhere and I imagined horrible things going on, that were not.
It may have seemed like a BIpolar episode,my father called my doctor a quack and told him to go have a kid and see what happens. some med work, hate to say it.most often, there temporary.Oh and if you think postpartum and Bipolar are the same. there not. Bipolars go through cycles, and unless treated with meds, they coninue up and down literally.
