    Dr. Phil when will you ever put a show discussing vitiligo? I have that disease,and no one ever seems to really talk about it.is there even research on this disease out there? It is a very embarrasing thing to have I know there are a lot of temp treatments out there,I want to cure mine or discolor whatever color of mine I have left.

    ...and here is why:

    Its a snapshot at best, of people with or surrounded by some very serious life issues. I understand that it helps fellow sufferers understand they are not alone, and in that there is some good. What is not so good is that there is no resolution by the end of a show because there can't be. Deep seeded issues don't go away over night, sometimes they don't go away at all, and that fact is never properly assimilated by the viewer in this kind of forum.

    My objection is that people see this, the same as they do in hour long medical dramas (a fact which never fails to slay me) and think that what Dr. Phil says on TV is the way, the truth, and the light in a simple, condensed format.

    The format does not allow the viewer to see the variables, dependent and independent, that can complicate what looks like a problem that's been taken care of in 30 minutes minus commercials, and derail everything that's been done. No fault to Dr. Phil as a man or as a professional. I like his no B.S. approach and I imagine he treats his private patients with the same therapeutic techniques. He's not trying to nor stating that he will, cure the people he sees on his show, but the PROBLEM is that the viewer thinks he is or will.

    Despite what they've been told and against all common sense, most viewers believe what they see to be "the way" its done; the absolute and irrevocable truth and fact, and nary a glitch will occur. And all will be right with the world because it happened that way on TV.

    Wrong. Sadly, often very wrong...moreless

    He brings people that have problems on to his show to make money and the people never actually resolve anything on the show he just says "ok and how does that make you feel" they will give him an answer and he will say " ok ok we are making great progress here" and some people will cry and then he'll say "when we return from the break find out how i helped this lady lose to pounds in a year !" .. . so there you have it a full episode of doctor phil so dont bother watching it. yepmoreless

    I used to be a big fan, however, now I only watch occasionally if I have absolutely nothing else to do, if there is nothing else on and/or if I have a few minutes to kill. What I find most annoying about the show is the way it is 'shot' after he introduces a guest, then you see flash backs of their situation and/or their comments these 'flash backs' seem to be caught in a 'loop', as they repeat over and over and over again throughout the entire show plus the movement of the camera --- back and forth --- gives me migraines! I did watch part of the show today. My comment today has to do with the chairs on the set. They look very silly I could not stop laughing! It looks to me like 'poppa bear and baby bear' chairs what a MEGA-EGO Dr. Phil has! The guests have to LOOK UP to Dr. Phil and Dr. Phil LOOKS DOWN on them in that little chair, like they are little children being punished.moreless
