Bijou Phillips, an infamous preachy Scientologist, is making news yet again for opening her trap. This time she is throwing depressed people under the bus, as if they don’t have enough to worry about! Here is more from Us Weekly.
“My grandparents didn’t take any pills, and they were fine,” Phillips said in the February issue of Paper. “Just buck up and get over it. Stop being such a f—king pansy.”
The budding actress frequents Scientology-sponsored events and spoke out against psychiatry and prescribing patients with medication for such mental illnesses as depression or anxiety.
I despise Scientologist, but there is maybe a hint of truth to this? I think so. Man up my people!

“Man up?” $cientology would return us to the days of warehousing the mentally ill.
According to their dogma, the mentally ill are “1.1 on the tone scale and should be put away “quietly and without sorrow. Yeah, great idea. Let’s line them up and go back to the day of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
The problem here is she’s thinking of the (very normal)
depression associated with everyday life issues.
If I’m depressed over my grandfather’s death,
I will be able to “get over it”.
But there is “clinical depression” that require DRUGS to
re-balance chemical levels (like serotonin) in the brain.
Such as Postpartum Depression. Mothers living
with obsessive thoughts to harm their own children can’t
“just buck up” or “get over it”.
Even though she has a limited knowledge – Bijou Phillips should
have (at least) learned “something” from Tom Cruise’s harsh
words against Brooke Shields.
