Substance abuse apparently cooccurs in a the majority of people with other mental health issues because of the self-medication issue. Tom Cruise is also struggling with some kind of mental health issue, and "self-medicates" at least with Scientology. Ironically, in all cases like this (cf. Michael Jackson, Andrea Yates, random reports of people running naked on the highway, etc.), the media does not focus on or even *mention* the mental health issue or potential but obvious mental health issue because heaven forbid we have a society in which mental health is something actually covered by health insurance or, gasp, accessible to everyone. Instead, it is much easier to call some people wicked rather than treat them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916114.post-1154521688599869972006-08-02T07:28:00.000-05:002006-08-02T07:28:00.000-05:00And his "contrite" apologies for his alcoholism an...And his "contrite" apologies for his alcoholism and his anti-semitism could make for some amusing CDA.
