Okay, Kewtee, here's what I've culled from the situation....
Tom has been very vocal in our media lately saying that there is no such thing as Post Partum Depression (specifically commented on Brooke Shields who openly discusses having suffered it) or chemical imbalance. He feels that people don't need the drugs used for depression and other mental problems. That they are just week individuals. Or something like that.
Just ask anyone (or the families of anyone) with a history of depression, mental illness or PPD and you'll hear a different opinion.
I think what most people (myself included) dislike is Tom's stubborn insistance that he is right - and the way he rudely reacted to one of America's favorite newsmen, Matt Lauer. IMHO he just appeared to be a pompous, opinonated a** that doesn't allow others to have a point of view.
As some one with family members and close friends who have suffered from both depression and PPD - and were fortunate enough to get help - he struck a nerve with me.
A lot of women and mental health advocates are up in arms now. How many people won't seek treatment because of his comments??? I was indifferent to him before, but now he is less than nothing to me. I'll extend my right to switch the channel...
So now I'll get off my soap box. LOL
Oh yeah, he gets really crazy on American TV dragging around his young girlfriend while there are many rumours that he is gay and she is just a beard. But I couldn't care less about that part.
he he he It's always all about me...
