“Our 10-Year-Old Son is Controlling Our Entire Lives”

Previously recorded in studio before social distancing. Denise and her husband, Jarid, say they are extremely concerned about their 10-year-old son, Zak, who screams, curses, punches and tells family members he wants them to die. Zak was diagnosed with autism two years ago, and they believe his temper tantrums seem to be getting worse. So, Denise and Jarid moved in with Jarid’s parents, Carol and Brad, for extra hands-on help with Zak, but was that the right move? Dr. Phil brings in a team of experts to help Zak and his family, including psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy and Board Certified Behavior Analyst Megan St. Clair. Find out what Megan learns after she makes a home visit to get more findings to bring back to Dr. Phil and Dr. Sophy.
