I just finished watching the episode. I'm not a Dr. Phil fan either, but I think he was right to question her diagnosis because she doesn't act like any bipolar person I've ever known, including myself. I have no idea of what her problem really is, but I'd be very surprised if it's BP, or if it's only BP. And blaming everything on the illness, whether real or imagined, is something I think most of us try NOT to do. JMHO.
