Dr. Phil Show Season 15 Episode 37 My Daughter Is Delusional and Lying About Being 9 Months Pregnant

  • November 2, 2016

In season 15 episode 37 of the Dr. Phil Show titled "My Daughter Is Delusional and Lying About Being 9 Months Pregnant," a mother named Cheryl is concerned about her daughter, Gypsy, who claims to be pregnant despite having a medical condition that makes it impossible for her to conceive.

Cheryl explains that Gypsy has been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and has been told by doctors that she cannot have children. However, Gypsy has been insisting that she is pregnant for the past nine months, even though there are no signs of a baby and she has not gained any weight.

Gypsy has even created a fake ultrasound and a sonogram video on her phone to support her claim. Cheryl is worried that Gypsy is delusional and may be suffering from a mental health issue.

Dr. Phil speaks with Gypsy about her claims of being pregnant and asks her to explain how she thinks this could be possible. Gypsy insists that she has all the symptoms of pregnancy, including feeling movements in her stomach and seeing a bump.

Dr. Phil brings in an obstetrician-gynecologist to examine Gypsy and determine if she is actually pregnant. The doctor performs a pelvic exam and ultrasound and concludes that Gypsy is not pregnant and never has been.

The show also explores Gypsy's history of lying and deceit, including pretending to have leukemia as a child and convincing her mother to shave her head. Cheryl admits that she has enabled Gypsy's behavior in the past and hopes that this intervention will help her daughter get the help she needs.

Dr. Phil then brings in a therapist to discuss Gypsy's mental health and possible reasons for her behavior. They explore her need for attention and the relationship dynamics between her and her mother.

The episode concludes with Dr. Phil offering resources for Gypsy to seek help for any underlying mental health issues and for Cheryl to get support in addressing her daughter's behavior.
