New Jersey's Governor Helps Shields To Fight Tom Cruise The war of the words between Brooke Shields and Tom Cruise regarding the postpartum depression treatment its not over yet	By 5th of July 2005, 12:36 GMT Adjust text size:

The war of the words between Brooke Shields and Tom Cruise regarding the postpartum depression treatment is not over yet and it looks like beautiful Shields has gained an ally in the person of New Jersey's acting governor. "Tom Cruise knows as much about postpartum depression as I do about acting, and he should stick to acting and not talk about women who need help," said Richard J. Codey, whose wife, Mary Jo, has struggled with the illness. Two weeks ago, invited in "Today" show, Tom Cruise was asked by the host Matt Lauer about his comments regarding Brooke Shields taking anti-depressants (Ritalin). ''You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do,'' Cruise said. ''Matt, Matt, you don't even -- you're glib,'' Cruise responded. "You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That's what I've done." Broke Shields criticized Tom Cruise comments saying they "are a disservice to mothers everywhere. To suggest that I was wrong to take drugs to deal with my depression, and that instead I should have taken vitamins and exercised shows an utter lack of understanding about postpartum depression and childbirth in general."
