A young woman is hoping Dr. Phil can help her mom break out of an obsessive thought pattern that's concerning her.
Jonny claims that her mother, Nancy, has been taken over by an obsession with a supposed secret language connected to an online dating app. The "secret hookup app" apparently has a system where people communicate different sex acts they're looking for with different people using colors and numbers.
Any time that Nancy sees people using those colors and numbers in everyday life, she believes they're users from the app stalking her, looking for sex. She believes these users are tracking her using the app.
Jonny says that Nancy started freaking out when she saw people wearing pink or black in public. Since then, it has extended to "every color of the rainbow." Jonny is concerned that this idea is driving Nancy out of her mind. She's been consumed by this obsession for nearly three years.
"It's literally impossible to deal with her anymore," Jonny said. "I hope it's not too late for my mom to go back to living a normal life."
