If that's the treatment you're looking for, there is no way you'll be able to convince me that you have to go see Maury. Any half decent counselor or psychologist could help you WAY better then he could. I think the people on that show want the attention and want to be on television. If they didn't, like you said, why would they overreact to the extent that they do? Somebody who's not looking for attention would stay calm. . it can't be THAT hard. And, even if it is. . why use that as an excuse? Maury doesn't call people and ask them to be on their show, people call Maury.

Whatever. . I just see it as a way to get on television.
