Dr. Phil

Obsessed and Over It (12x72)

:

Twenty-one-year-old Samantha says that four years ago, she began obsessively picking at her skin, leaving her with scabs and scars all over her face and body. She confides that she hates her appearance so much that she even wears makeup to bed. She says that she desperately wants help to stop her picking, especially since her younger sister, Rachel, has also started doing it within the last year. What does Dr. Phil think is at the root of the siblings’ behavior? How can they overcome their compulsion — and reclaim their lives? Then, Stormy says that her boyfriend, Keven, is obsessed with order, cleanliness and having everything done his way — and it’s tearing their relationship apart. Keven insists that he’s not the problem and says that Stormy lacks attention to detail and thoroughness when it comes to keeping things clean and orderly. When confronted with some of his many demands for their household, will Keven see things differently? Plus, Cindie says she’ll do anything to avoid going to the doctor, despite having a family history of heart attacks, breast cancer and early deaths. Dr. Freda Lewis-Hall, Chief Medical Officer of Pfizer, stresses the importance of getting regular checkups. Will her words make an impact on Cindie?
