Psychiatrists hit back at Cruise

Looks like the psychiatrists are fighting mad at Cruise's attack on their profession. They are saying:

"Rigorous, published, peer-reviewed research clearly demonstrates that treatment (of mental illness) works," the APA statement said. "It is unfortunate that in the face of this remarkable scientific and clinical progress that a small number of individuals and groups persist in questioning its legitimacy."

But what the APA doesn't know is that Cruise is steeped in the medical research and is an actual published peer of the APA. Wait isn't he just an actor promoting a movie? An actor without a doctorate that hasn't gone through a residency or anything. Maybe Kelsey Grammer can shine some light on all this, after all he has played a psychiatrist on TV in the past few years. He has about the same amount of knowledge as Cruise does on this subject I think.
