The Travolta's , like every parent , wanted the best for their son and I feel for them right now . I can't imagine the sorrow they must wake up and feel everyday. Scientologist do believe in and take medications for certain disorders but ever since Tom Cruise spoke about mental disorders the whole issue has become clouded and the beliefs of Scientologist have been twisted by a media crazed society.

In today's society we are constantly told that if we are sad or something in our life is not going as expected , it's not our fault .Something must be wrong and medication can fix it. While I know some people truly do need medications doctors on a whole are far to willing to prescribe mind altering medications , especially to children , without really looking for an underlying cause.


WAY to many children ( as well as adults)are put on medication for everything from ADHD to depression without anyone questioning the diagnosis or trying to figure out the best possible way to treat them . We are trained that doctors know everything and we must sit , listen ,and never question.

Don't get me wrong , I have nothing against doctors in general , a wonderful group of doctor's saved my sons life! BUT I feel too many parent's put their children on medication and let it try to calm them down (to the point of changing their personality altogether) without questioning the diagnosis because they have just given up and been told this is the best thing to do.

I hope people soon realize the amount of damage that can be done by over medicating everyone for everything without really taking the time to discover if the medication is actually warranted.
