Dr. Peter Breggin - Scientologist, or ...?

[stevesh]

This guy, who is a regular first hour commentator anytime the news item has anything to do with mental illness, is on next Tuesday. It's hard to tell from a cursory Web search whether or not he has any connection to Scientology. He says no. I guess it's entirely possible to oppose the use of anti-depressants without going all Tom Cruise, but ...

FWIW, from Wiki

"In 1994, Breggin said that Eli Lilly and Company (maker of the antidepressant Prozac) attempted to discredit him and his book Talking Back to Prozac by linking him to the Church of Scientology and labeling his views as "Neo-Scientology."[36] Breggin denied any connection to Scientology.[36] Breggin later clarified that he was still in agreement with some of CCHR's anti-psychiatric views, supporting Tom Cruise's public stance against psychiatry.[37]"

Maybe he's never made enough money to interest the Scientologists.

All that said, there are, I think, legitimate questions to ask about these kinds of drugs.  Maybe he's asking, or maybe he's jumping on the Cruise bandwagon.
