So how did this effect Brooke Shields?
Actress BROOKE SHIELDS has lambasted former pal TOM CRUISE for criticising her "misguided" use of drugs to combat her post-natal depression.Cruise - who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion - recently attacked the SUDDENLY SUSAN star for becoming dependant on Paxil, following the birth of her daughter ROWAN.
But Shields is disgusted by the TOP GUN star's "dangerous" comments and took a swipe at his Scientology beliefs, by saying she wouldn't take advice from someone who devotes his life to creatures from outer space.
She fumes, "His comments are dangerous. He should stick to saving the world from aliens.
Shields is currently weaning herself off her medication so she and husband CHRIS HENCHY can have another child.

Although I find it sad that she suffers from this condition I do not believe abusing drugs is a proper substitute. Although I fully disagree with most of Cruises' viewpoints I would have to agree that she should not take Paxil for this disorder.
Abusing drugs was not the answer. I feel you could have explained the effect of depression on her life more. Tom's slander against her was uncalled for.
