Air date: May 10, 2019

Due to her extreme agoraphobia, Kirstie says she has only ventured outside her home further than her mailbox one time in the last 14 months, and that was via ambulance to the hospital. Kirstie says she is confined to her bedroom for 22 hours a day because she believes she will die if she leaves it for longer than just a few minutes. But that’s not all; Kirstie also says she needs someone to watch her 24/7 so she doesn’t die. Kirstie claims her mother’s parenting is the root cause of her debilitating anxiety. Find out what caused a serious “anxiety attack” when Kirstie allowed Dr. Phil cameras to document her daily life. Plus, see what happens when Kirstie confronts her mother for the first time about her claim that she may have caused Kristie’s agoraphobia.
