TV Doctor Declares Tom Cruise is “Mentally Unstable”

Doctor Drew Pinsky, medical expert on US television show, “Celebrity Rehab”, has claimed that actor, Tom Cruise, may be Mentally Unstable.
Pinsky, who is a regular on the reality show, has written an article for “Playboy” magazine suggesting that Cruise might be mentally ill for getting overly involved with the controversial Church of Scientology. The medical expert also claims the “Top Gun” star may have suffered some kind of childhood trauma.
He writes, "Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood, maybe even some abuse, but certainly neglect."
However, Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, has slammed the article, insisting Pinsky's analysis is absurd.
He tells the New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "This unqualified television performer, who is obviously just looking for notoriety, is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them.”
"He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from (Nazi propaganda chief) Joseph Goebbels."
Where two views are diametrically opposed, the truth most often lies in between. Pinsky is certainly not the first to question Cruise’s mental stability or his requirement for validation through Scientology. Neither is he the first to suggest that Cruise has a deep emptiness resulting from childhood neglect.
