Doctor Apologises For Tom Cruise Remarks, Attacks Attorney
A Hollywood doctor who questioned Tom Cruise's mental health has offered his apologies for upsetting the actor.
Dr. Drew Pinsky came under fire from Cruise's attorney Bert Fields after suggesting the movie star might be mentally ill in a Playboy editorial.
The medic, who fronts hard-hitting U.S. TV show Celebrity Rehab, speculated that Cruise's Scientology beliefs could be a result of childhood "neglect."
Fields has since blasted Pinsky, calling him "unprofessional" and "unqualified".
In a statement released on Thursday (12Jun08) a spokesman for the doctor said, "Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful."
Defiant Pinsky has now taken aim at Fields for his comments after the lawyer called the doctor a "posturing flake" who "pretends to diagnose people he's never met."
Pinsky's rep adds, "Although Mr. Fields intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise, whom he does not know.
"Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognisable to help the public understand."

Cruise mental state is indeed poly-schizophrenia
I don't see why the doctor excused for having said Cruise was mad. Cruise believes he is not alone in his body, he believes that we are thousands in our bodies, and he believes that these pace alien cooties are the main cause of men problems on earth. It's evident for those people who got through the same steps of scientology as Cruise (I was a leader of the cult and got on these levels), that they can affirm Cruise's mental state as schizophrenic. Indeed, Cruise got over the level "OT3" from the cult's so-called progression, therefore, he thinks he's not the only man in his body, but that thousands of other men/parasites (called Body Thetans in scientology) inhabit in himself. That's what could be called polyschizophrenia. Psychiatrists call "schizophrenic" people who think they are two in the same body; since in scientology, they think they are thousands, they are suffering of polyschizophrenia.
