Why Dr phil is such a popular show

Dr phil first aired in 2002 after segments on The Oprah Winfrey Show gained a lot of popularity. The premise behind the show is that Dr. Phil comes onto the show to give advice to guests who have mental health issues as life strategies and urging them to seek help if necessary. While discussing these issues, people feel determined to open up about their problems and even seek help if necessary. By providing people with genuine and emotionally driven stories, he helps his audience feel more empathetic towards those that are suffering from mental health conditions and issues.
