Cruise's Prophecy Re-Examined
🔥 Headline/Hook: Was the man who jumped on Oprah's couch actually ahead of his time? We're diving back into the infamous 2005 interviews to ask the question: Was Tom Cruise right about psychiatry?

❓ The Conflict/Intrigue: In 2005, Tom Cruise's career took a hit after he publicly criticized the use of psychiatric drugs, famously clashing with Matt Lauer on the Today show and criticizing Brooke Shields for her use of anti-depressants for postpartum depression. At the time, his comments were dismissed as a "Scientology Meltdown." But nearly two decades later, in light of new information and debates over the "chemical imbalance" theory, are his points resonating differently?
