- March 1, 2018
In the Dr. Phil Show season 15 episode 285, titled "Help! My Daughter Was Possessed, Had Three Exorcisms, and It Is Still Ruining Her Life!," a concerned mother seeks Dr. Phil's help to save her daughter from what she believes is a demonic possession. The mother claims that her daughter has had three exorcisms so far, but nothing seems to be working, and her daughter's life is spiraling out of control.
Dr. Phil begins the show by talking to the mother and her daughter, who both seem very agitated and visibly disturbed. The daughter tells Dr. Phil that she feels like something has taken over her body, and she often feels helpless and powerless. She describes how she sees dark shadows and hears eerie voices that tell her to do things that she doesn't want to do.
The mother explains that her daughter's behavior has become increasingly erratic and dangerous. She says that her daughter has become violent, verbally abusive, and has even attempted suicide on several occasions. The mother claims that she has consulted many doctors and psychiatrists, but none of them have been able to find a solution.
Dr. Phil talks to several experts in the field of mental health and spiritual beliefs to shed light on the situation. He brings in a psychiatrist who explains that some of the symptoms that the daughter is experiencing could be attributed to a mental health condition, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. He also points out that a person's belief in demonic possession can sometimes be a manifestation of their psychological distress.
Dr. Phil also consults a paranormal investigator who talks about his experiences dealing with cases of demonic possession. He explains that exorcisms are not necessarily the best solution to the problem and that a combination of psychological counseling and spiritual healing might be more effective.
Throughout the show, Dr. Phil talks to the daughter, the mother, and the experts in an attempt to get to the root of the problem. He asks probing questions and challenges some of the beliefs that the mother and daughter hold. He encourages them to consider alternative explanations and to keep an open mind.
The show ends with Dr. Phil providing the mother and daughter with some advice and resources to help them deal with the situation. He urges them to seek professional help and to keep searching for a solution. He also leaves them with a message of hope and encouragement, reminding them that they are not alone and that there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
