A few years ago, during an extremely stressful time in her life, my Mom became very ill and was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features. Basically, she became paranoid to the point that she was no longer living in reality. Every thought, conversation, sound, person, song on the radio, etc somehow became "proof" of what she believed. She became an entirely different person - confrontational, irrationally angry, dangerously aggressive (because she thought someone was trying to kill her). It was horrible and terrifying and ended with her having to be forcefully hospitalized. It was devastating. Fortunately, while hospitalized, they found the right medications and she slowly became my Mom again. She's fine now, but it was a very long, difficult road. All this to say, if someone had put her on television and exploited her while she was under the influence of this mental illness and at the lowest, most terrifying point in her life, I would be BEYOND furious. Unethical doesn't even begin to cover it. I've seen so many "patients" that were clearly not in a healthy enough state of mind to truly consent to his show. To make a spectacle of someone who is ill and openly ridicule them in front of the entire world (while encouraging a live studio audience to follow his lead) is reprehensible. Its not about medicine or education or treatment, it's about drama and ratings and I can't stand it.

He said it was absolutely nuts and nothing was represented fairly or accurately.

Thanks for this fair critique. My wife and I frequently watched the Dr. Phil show--until we appeared as his guests in 2017. He claims it is a "safe place to talk about difficult subjects." Ours was certainly a difficult subject, but after our episode aired we received some credible death threats, in addition to the on-line threats in the comment section. We were thoroughly investigated by the authorities again. They found no evidence of any crime but it was a traumatic experience. We were immediately banished from our churches and told we would be arrested if we attended church. My wife has especially suffered and is quite angry at Dr. Phil. I look at the good points he made about the subject and the positive things that have happened as a result of appearing on his show. He did provide me with ten sessions of counseling through Dr. on Demand. Thank-you.

I agree with you Dr. Grande regarding Phil McGraw. The people with mental illness are some of the weakest people in our society that should be protected and certainly not exploited for entertainment purposes, bullied and/or picked on. In addition to being quite the professional, it's obvious you're a sweetheart as well. Your empathy and compassion for those that suffer with mental illness comes shining through. This has become my favorite video of yours so far. Thank you for sharing your speculation on the matter.

I worked there in 2006 and did transcription for the show for a few months. I was surprised that no one who worked for him liked him. There was a staff party at one point and he arrived when it was almost over, just breezed through to make an appearance, and I discerned an attitude of distaste of being among the "underlings" or just unable to connect to his company members. He said nothing to anyone and disappeared.

Instead of trying to figure out why that bothered him dr Phil blamed my step sister for not keeping up with the same image. She used to dress like like a pop star because she looked like Britney Spears but she was saying that she wanted to dress more conservative and she didn’t want to act like a party girl anymore. Those are the things she was attacked for and made to feel embarrassed about. It was infuriating to watch.

Not to mention that he is constantly referring to himself as an expert and “all his years of psychoanalysis…” everything he says and does on the show is for nothing more than good ratings.

“Physician heal thyself” is what comes to mind when Dr Phil gets on his ego rants. I will never forget the Shelley Duvall fiasco. If anything, she deserves her privacy, and there were no “teaching moments” as far as I could see. He is puffed up with himself.

I'll never forget a Dr. Phil show where a teen/young woman was visibly angry, to the point of tears, because of her father's treatment of her. She gave as an example how her father would make donkey noises at her. Dr. Phil dismissed this and pretty much told the young woman to stop complaining over something so silly and get over it. This stuck with me I think because I had an abusive dad and if I were to share just one thing he'd do to upset me it may not be clear that he had a pattern of abusive behavior. That one thing, in isolation, might come off as "not a big deal." Also, the bigger question here, I thought, is why is this 50-year-old man making donkey noises anyway?? It pissed me off that Dr. Phil would basically defend that man.

It’s particularly bad when he has guests with medical conditions resulting in physical pain. He immediately assumes that the individual is an addict (re: Phil’s own agenda regarding prescription pain medications), and he facilitates & validates family member abandonment of people in pain. The damage done in some of these shows is outright deplorable.

Mental health is very delicate.

Enjoyable commentary. I tend to agree and most people I know think of the Dr. Phil Show as entertainment. I also know that it has caused many to seek mental health services because the show somehow resonated with them. Seeing mental health issues or dysfunction in relationships does create more acceptance and 'mainstream' ideas on care, similar to what we have toward dentistry. Just as with some media 'entertainers' it would not hurt for the program to run a disclaimer banner (like pharmacy ads) and the # for services available.

To my knowledge, he hasn't ever held a license in California, so in my opinion he just let the license go because exploiting vulnerable people the way he does would be much more difficult if he still held a license.

He is paid to question folks and we all get to watch them squirm. And to think he makes all that $$$ when those who really help others have to make a living patiently listening and counseling one client at a time. I will watch Dr. Grande again. Ty.

6:04 exactly lol. Anyone with a bit of brain would know that when you are struggling mentally, going on national tv isn't exactly the way to go 🤦‍♂️😳

I’m a licensed therapist and I thank you for this video!!!

I watched the "Dr." Phil Show years ago when he started his own show and found his so-called professional advice mainly based on the Twelve Step Program. So, it was no surprise to me when I later discovered that his father was an alcoholic and I assume he gained a lot of knowledge from the simple, yet the very effective program of AA. The cold, almost ice-cold expression in his eyes while listening to his guests on stage, to me shows no empathy or compassion for the guests sitting in front of him, and it seems to me that he exploits people for his own personal gain. I cannot stand Robyn when she's entering with him to get her moment of fame. I became extremely irritated when he also, at a stage, had his son on the show and then got so disgusted that I stopped watching at once. Thank you, Dr. Grande.

I stopped watching his shows after a few episodes because of how he treats the guests that are non professionals. I agree with the review that he often seems to make fun and ridiculize the guests problems, which doesn't seem helpful to me at all. Then the audience claps at him making fun of the guests problems. I feel bad for the guests at times, even if they have errors in their reasoning or other problems, his approach to help them seems more aimed at getting laughs from the audience or making 'smart' remarks than anything else. It feels like his shows are much more entertainment oriented than would be appropriate for the type of content.

This was one of your best videos. Your comments, towards the end, about mentally ill people being vulnerable and deserving of protection was wonderful to hear. Phil McGraw should learn from you.

I like the show because I am fascinated with human behavior and I do find it entertaining. I have always felt though that Dr Phil likes to parade people in difficult situations on his show and bully them in front of a national television audience. And in front of a groupie like audience. I don't like the way he braggs about his and his wife's accomplishments and continuously touts his and her products.

I found this video in particular, enlightening with regard to the ethics of mental health practitioners. Not having any experience in the mental health field, it was heartening to learn of the respect that practitioners have for people with mental health issues. When viewed in this light, the manner in which Phil McGraw treats some of his guests does not seem to comply with the fundamental ethics of his profession. One can't help but come to the conclusion that Phil McGraw exploits some of his guests for the sake of entertainment. If this is the case, then it is a shame.

Thats what so many of us have been thinking: How is it a good idea to show your problems to a world full of people ready to take an advantage of them? Its like releasing a sheep to the wolves. Many have been bullied afterwards. But he explains things well, I think. Thats very helpful.

When I was younger (I mean VERY young) I wrote to the show because I was hoping maybe Dr. Phil would talk to me or someone from his show would talk to me. (I was extremely naive). I had a situation where my parents were being very controlling and they would stalk me through security cameras and question my every move. I just wanted help to see what I could do to make that behavior stop. The show would not stop calling me. They wanted to get me and my family on the show. I never gave them information on my parents because I was pretty sure they would continue to call. I figured out that they weren’t interesting in helping me. They just wanted to expose the drama.

Dr Phil once replied to criticism, by uttering: "...so just pick up your remote and move on!"🙁 Dr Grande says: "On that I concur!"😁 Brilliant...❤️

I love watching Dr.Phil. Not because I enjoy pointing fingers, but I think I can learn something. To me, this show has been an eye opener on what problems occur in relations between people. Previously, I never heard about those problems and one could get the impression that these problems happen rarely. And that they can be solved!!! Having said that, I also appreciate Dr. Grandes evaluation. Maybe it's easy to distance yourself from the humiliation of others when you try to figure out what is going on?

My deepest concerns are with those suffering from psychosis whom Dr. Phil has positioned as a source of humor for his audiences. I use humor at work but not at the expense of a patient. There is nothing funny about this condition, which in and of itself can be traumatic. His ability to have a television show connotes authority and status. This concerns me. I find Dr. Phil likable as a person, but it is clear that his aim is to make money. This was demonstrated by his "jump on the bandwagon" endorsement for certain nutrition bars.

They put each guest in a separate room and run back and forth to each person saying "You're mom just said this" or "Your wife just said that" to ramp everyone up and get the drama ready before the show even starts filming. Another friend is from Dallas, where Phil McGraw is from, and good old Phil was a drunk on a bar stool every afternoon before he was discovered by Oprah. These friends don't know each other and I never told either about what the other said. Phil is a con artist who is ruining people's lives.

Didn't ol' Oprah give him his platform?! I'm pretty sure that's how it played out. 🙄 I love Dr. Grande, because he's such an intelligent & honest professional.
