I know!! I hate how psychology isnt taken very seriously. It never really has been, and i guess its slowly getting better. I know waaay back when, people were just made outcasts of the community (durring like colonial times) and ppl thought anyone with depression, anxiety, any kind of mental ilness like that was either 1. possessed by the devil or 2. completely crazy. So if you think about it we've come a long way.
But, now you have dumb a-- celebrities like Tom Cruise who say mental illnesses are misdiagnosed and people shouldnt need medication. And he was sooo arrogant about it! Like he would know...yeah last time i checked you didnt have your psychology degree, so dont talk about it like you know. I was soo pissed about his comment he said to Brooke shields (about post-partum depression) .
Then theres people (similar to tom cruise) who think since psychologys becoming more common, psychologists are just diagnosing more people, when really they dont have anything wrong. (Like its the new craze) And when people have a problem they automatically think they have a disorder. Which, this COULD happen. and prob. does, but it doesnt mean there arent people who really deal with this kind of thing (AS WE ALL KNOW)...As you can tell i have a strong opinion about this!! lol
