Not one question is asked or answered. I have no idea why it’s called “Ask Dr. Phil”. Not ONE minute without commercial interruption! More than half commercials. So frustrating. Dr. Phil brays his entire commentary at you in a condescending, scolding, arrogant manner. I only wish I had a dollar for every time I hear “DR PHIL!” yet AGAIN! Just like with his TV show, 15” of this you’ll feel like you’ve been beaten about the head with his merciless almighty brand and just want to make it stop. He does spoon out teensy bits of worthwhile thought, about one per episode, but what you have to endure to get it might leave you feeling irritated & disrespected. This man has things to teach, but it is overwhelmed by the force of his need to constantly massage his ego, and to increase his profits, and you are left with the hollow awareness that there will never be enough of either.

And I e learned so much from his books, show & podcasts!

Phil's entire legacy is his show, in which he preys on society's most vulnerable and impressionable people. He sensationalizes their stories, advertises facilities, and capitalizes on people's struggles and trauma. Why? Simply because public humiliation and aggressive confrontation gets views. Remember the Jerry Springer Show? There are numerous horror stories from people who had been to Phil's show (i.e., an alcoholic who was set up to get drunk before bringing him on stage), and others who had lost family members to violent crimes and had declined to go on his show, only to find him siding with the convicted murderer. Phil and his show are utterly despicable and unethical.

Is it possible the times she took trips or came home late, she may have “slept “ with another man and knowing her young son was actually not her husband’s? Having depression and trying suicide before, knowing she’s leaving to end her life brought her son to the water park for her last time, handed her son off to his biological father and went to Rockford Illinois to kill herself knowing he “Would Be Safe “ ?? That is the first thing I thought of. Even the time generated photos don’t look like Dad or his brother! HMMM!!! Natalie in southern Wiscosin

Just like every guy I know . 2 min longers . The podcast is way to short . 2 mins . What do I get with 2 mins .

I absolutely adore kids and understand that many problems are created by bad parenting. However, some kids take the wrong path (with access to drugs and peer pressure) despite the most loving and nurturing home environment. Sometimes I think you are too harsh with the parents/grandparents of kids who are totally out of control. Maybe it’s because of tv editing? But where is the line between accepting a child’s out of control behavior and setting boundaries? I’m just thinking that sometimes compassion is due to those parents who genuinely love their kids but can no longer accept erratic or criminal behavior. I watch your show almost every day. Haven’t seen an episode lately where the kid has been held accountable for traumatizing the parents. Seems like the parents are always hammered. Todays episode just hit me wrong when the grandmother and GREAT grandmother were chastised for the way they treated their granddaughter. I agree they were wrong in many ways, but the girl seemed to gloat that they would be totally out of her life as soon as she turned 18. She thinks it’s easy to raise a child two generations removed? They are between a rock and harder place — Accept the girl’s behavior or put her in foster care. Listened to you berate them repeatedly for their parenting style and no kudos for taking the child to raise. Would like to hear a little more understanding on your part for grandparents who are thrown into this all too common situation IF they deserve such. Thank you.

Love watching your show and listening to your podcasts. Both are very informative.

Dr Phil I watch you every day I’m a health care worker in Nash tn at st Thomas west hospital moral very low since covid hit 2 years ago I can’t express what this has done to myself along with so many around me could you give help With great advice sincerely And Thank you CC

When I saw u were a trump person , I lost respect. As a black person, I no longer watch

Hi Dr. Phil I’ve been an epileptic since Nov 19, 1988. I’m 43 yrs old & have tried most of the meds for epileptics. My neurologist told me I’m one of the 3% of people that meds don’t work for. As I get older it gets harder. Would you recommend a particular drug or surgery to stop these seizures from happening approximately 4 month? I currently take Sertraline for anxiety 100mg/day, Onfi 40mg/day & Keppra 3000mg/day. Please I need your help thank you. Linda Orr

I have been watching doctor Phil for a wail now, and I have to say there have been one or two shows I can relate to. He is a very good person to try to help all them people.And I feel he’s not messing around he’s real..He goes all out to help his guests good or bad people..YOU ROCK DOCTOR PHIL....PS if I was not so afraid I would ask for your help .Mt life is like living on a scary roller coaster and I try to just hang on GOD BLESS YOU

How?

How do I listen to an episode in its entirety? I just hear a 30 second review of each episode ?

I watch your show everyday. I always think I need to be on your show for my grandson’s sake. He’s eleven years old. My daughter hasn’t spoken to me or let me see or speak with my grandson for four and a half years. Dysfunction in the family goes generations back. I don’t want my grandson to live any longer in a dysfunctional family. We need help to give him a happy, loving future.

Thank you Dr Phil I have a troubled doughter here a while back and after seening you on tv you tough my how to treat her and now she is my best friend love her so Thank you for helping my find my doughter again.

My son Phillip was found dead in his car of a massive heart attack. He was married for 25 years and they had four children. This all happened in Waterford, Michigan It is like I am in a nightmare and can’t wake up. How does someone get back to normal. Thank you for any thing you can tell me Alline Cheatham

Such a shame you can’t distinguish between a virus and car accident. I am so disappointed that you are a political hack. Spreading propaganda for the republicans and the fox tv community. Thought I could get unbiased information from you. NOT

After listening to him share dangerously false information on Fox News earlier today, I will no longer support him by listening to anything he puts out.

Dr Phil you aired a segment showing a young woman talking about us the older generation only being concerned with this virus Because it effects us . Are there people that are really that STUPID!! Out there. Wow!!!

Just a plain and simple “Thank you!” I am one of the lucky ones that still has a job, but it is impossible to not being afected by anxiety and depression. Your words are very hopeful, and that is what we all need now.

I’m not going to say that I haven’t made some bad decisions in my life but nothing terrible. I was working on a nursing career when my mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was very close to my family and one by one they have passed away. Two years after mom passed I began college again. The first day of classes I felt something was wrong. I went to my father’s home and found him on the floor naked, paralyzed. He had a major stroke. I immediately dropped school again. I was faced with life and death decisions that I did not want to make. My father was my best friend since I was a little girl and I miss him greatly. I shut down when he passed. Not long after he died my husband became very ill and died. For the first time in my life I was alone. One morning I woke up and I was mad at God for waking alive. I came within an inch of taking my life. I’m finally past most of the grief but everyday it seems I face major setbacks. Job loss, financially distressed. My home is almost paid for but I am barely hanging on. I don’t have water , electric or heat except for propane. And I certainly don’t have the resources to fix anything. Sometimes I pray and question why. At times I feel like Job without the sores. I’m scared all the time of being homeless and am suffering with lots of anxiety. I have signed up to go back to school and finally get my nursing degree. I don’t know how I’m going to swing this but I’m trying to walk in faith and not look past the moment. I never lived in poverty and had no idea anyone else did either. It is so hard and stressful. I do believe that it is my responsibility to move forward and make my life better but at times I think , wow , I’m 60 years old. Truthfully I am tired of the struggle but I’m trying to put one foot in front of the other. I have great empathy now for people living in poverty. This is America and I’m appalled at the lack of a helping hand. I’m sure others feel the same. The odds against the poor seem insurmountable. When I get thru this I’ll never forget and I hope to start some type of support for women in the same situation. Thanks for listening to me whine. I love your advise and insight to life. You truly have a gift

Your show is getting to be more and more like the Jerry Springer show, and we all know how fake that is. You used to not let your guests argue. Now you let them yell and throw fits, and you just sit there. Guess that is what it takes to get the ratings. Well, I am not at all impressed. RIDICULOUS!

Please give more encouragement to seniors I am 81 and I’m in very good health No medical issues I’ve had both hips, both knees replaced I had a horse farm in Florida I did not have arthritis It was necrosis, over use and abuse I’ve lost my passion when I retired. The horses were my true love They were wild mustangs rescues There must be more ahead or why would I be here I admire and respect Dr Phill I’m a believer I trust your sincerity and knowledge I need to find encouragement to find something that will help others Please guide me, Dr Phi MAD.

Not as good as Dopey Podcast, but stay up playa!!

Dear Dr Phil, I Wish and Pray that someday Soon you could shed some light on a rare disease that affects so many. This Disease is Huntington’s. My Sister lost her X-Husband and Sister-In-Law to this debilitating disease. My Sister has 3 Son’s who have a 50% chance of inheriting this awful Disease !!! This disease takes a vibrant Healthy person and turns them into a person you can’t even recognize !!! I’m sure Dr Phil you are aware of All that this Disease does to someone. The children who test positive for this can also have symptoms early on !! I watched my brother in law suffer so much !! Please Dr Phil....shed some light on the need for research and help for those who have this disease and their Families who need the support !!! Thank You !! Sincerely, Pam Doyle

Dr Phil. I love your ties. The light blur one is my favorite My husband does not own a tie He is not in good health When he dies I want to bury him in one of your very nice ties

How do I leave a verbal abusive relationship with no where to go?

I like it.I also watch the show to.

Dr. Phil I enjoy your podcast and your TV show. It’s amazing what you can do for people. I am going through a lot of grief myself, I lost my daughter just two years ago at the age of 25 due to two cell non-Hodgkin’s lymph Phoma. At the same time I was going through two major surgeries lost my life twice during a 12 hour surgery just to live long enough to bury my daughter. I am now disabled on way too much medication in my eyes. It’s like I’m grieving for my daughter and myself at the same time the outlook doesn’t look great. I have battled with depression for many years anxiety PTSD. I go through bouts of not wanting to live anymore. I see a psychiatrist and a psychologist it doesn’t seem to be helping me maybe it’s them and not me or maybe it’s me and not them. I don’t know what to do I don’t know how to feel, right now I just want to be numb. I often ask God why did you save me and not her she was my everything my only child and she only lived long enough to see her daughter turned one. I’m to the point where I make bad decisions I’m not happy with my life which makes my depression worse I just want to disappear. If you can help I would greatly appreciate it because I was not raised by a great family lots of abuse my parents didn’t want me. And now at the age of 47 I’m still learning on how I should act and react. I say things sometimes that make no sense or hurt peoples feelings and I don’t understand why I was never taught the right way to live. I’ve been mentally physically and sexually abused since I was three until I was in my 20s with the last rape. What do I do I don’t understand and it’s just getting worse. I apparently pick out bad relationships that doesn’t help me. I can’t afford to live on my own but I want to be on my own just alone I can’t trust anyone to get very close to me anymore. Thank you for listening. If you can steer me in the right direction . I now have grandchildren and I don’t want them to think how I act and react is normal. Thank you, sad in Indiana (765)315-9182

Dr Phil, you have done great things in the 17 years you have been doing the dr Phil show. I love your new podcast and the guest you have on with you like one of my favorite people Kathy Bates just to name one. Josie Syck, Detroit Michigan Keep it coming!!

Wow Dr. Phil, I had no idea you liked to sprinkle your language with profane words. Not a good surprise for me. I always thought people with low IQ talked that way, not an intelligent man. Sounds like you’re shedding brain cells with each word. The mouth speaks what the heart is full of. I know most people don’t care but to me it sounds so repulsive I can’t listen. Really disappointed

It has been over 2 years. What am I supposed to do that I’m not. How do I go back to a normal life?

I talk with her when she’s having episode,talking,having a close network of family,friends that understand and willing to listen is crucial,my mom lives with us to, she says “they have medication to fix her” thats like saying “here,take a pill, I don’t want to talk,to you, she says nobody’ wants to listen to that crap,she doesn’t understand and doesn’t communicate her personal feelings, I am at my wits end,,she seems uncomfortable when my daughter and I have conversations,we all live together,she is 83; very stuck in her ways,I just don’t know how to get through to her that talking is vital,,if she does talk,it’s judgement,things like you should go out have friends says all the things that seem to make her depression worse,

How do we ask you questions? Is this how? I also wanted to say thank you for the shows where people are so in love with someone who they never met and have given them money. I literally just blocked someone on Facebook from another country, not sure if he really is in another country. He speaks perfect English. Today he told me that he loves me. I had been on the phone with a friend of mine and I refused to tell him who. Well long story kinda short he started asking to put money on my credit card. I don’t have one but I wasn’t gonna tell him that. I told him he needed to stop or I would block him. I got a phone call and he kept at it while I was on the phone asking about my Verizon account. I stopped giving him the time of day. And blocked his butt. I’m still terrified. I gave him my phone number

Why does he not want to listen or mind could you give me some help on that please

This is working so well in my teenager. She has always had rage issues and I have become so numb to her outbursts. To actually stop and ask her about the root of her fit is helping. Asking, let me help to make it better together. 😃😊👍🏼
