Details

Tonya says she hears voices and has private conversations in her head with celebrities, including President Obama, Rob Kardashian, Clint Eastwood -- and even Dr. Phil. Her mother, Diana, and niece, Ciera, are concerned that she may be mentally ill, but Tonya says she’s not crazy and that a lot of people hear voices. She says one of the voices, “Grandma,” is oftentimes unkind, has threatened her family and makes her laugh out loud to look crazy in front of others. Could something in Tonya’s past be the cause? And, can Dr. Phil help her quiet the noise? Then, Laura says her 20-year-old son, Hunter, is either a con man, a pathological liar or is mentally ill. She says his elaborate lies include pretending to be the CEO of a multibillion dollar company, a professional wrestler -- and even a cancer victim. Hunter admits that the last 10 years of his life have been a lie but says he just can't stop. What's at the root of his deceptions? Psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy shares his insight.
