Quote of the Week: Dr. Phil Accosts Britney

So good:

Although Dr. Phil -- whose full name is Phillip McGraw -- announced Monday that he is shelving plans for a show on Spears' latest breakdown, some in the mental health community say just showing up at her hospital room last week was going too far.

"It's true people sometimes need to be placed under involuntary mental health treatment because they can't take care of themselves," veteran psychiatrist Dr. Jeffrey Sugar said of the 26-year-old Spears. "But there's a difference between being detained involuntarily for psychological treatment and being forced to endure Dr. Phil involuntarily."

If I were forced to see Dr. Phil, I would certainly need some break time to recover.

I think they should leave britney alone and help her situation cause shes young and has support from her family her mother that only care's about her money and a worthless ex husband that thosen't care about her and her kids but her money. She needs all the help from everyone even her fans. I went a thru a break down and i have 2 kids i did it on my own and stay positive.

But how much of the response from the "mental health community" is the same kind of response that Carl Sagan got for his popularization of science? In other words, possibly partly based in good reasons but also significantly based in envy.

@Mark P: short answer is 'not much'.

Mark B: even shorter response: 'Right."
