Do You Think You'll Have 'Empty Oprah Syndrome'?

The final episode of the 25th and final season of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," airing on May 25, will leave a lot of fans feeling empty. So empty that Dr. Ned Hallowell, a psychiatrist, coined a term for it:

Empty Oprah syndrome.

"People have been in love with her and with the show," Hallowell told ABC News. "They associate it with a time of stability, a real rock in their lives. It's a loss. People are going to have to grieve."

Luckily, with this disease, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

"With empty Oprah syndrome, you look elsewhere," Hallowell continued. "You're glad she's on to whatever else she wants to do. And meanwhile, you remind yourself of what she's done for you: she's given you a gift for 25 years. And that gift won't disappear, and that's the way she'd want you to think of it."

Now if he can just find a cure for Bieber Fever.

    Still love watching the Color Purple too. I never really got into her show too much but I did like it when I tuned in.

    I've never cared for her or her show nor have I ever cared about any other self-centered celebrities *cough*. I do care about whether our warriors overseas have enough to eat, enough water to drink, and the rudimentary things to stay warm or cool.

    Never watched and can't stand her!!!! I won't miss what I never saw. I think she had an attitude like she was the stuff and her stuff didn't stink! Don't like people with that attitude, and I won't be watching any of her tv programming on OWN....

    We're not going to have a CHANCE to miss her. She might not have her own "talk show" anymore, but she will always be in our faces.

    Nope. That's how I found SodaHead. I did a search to find if Oprah irritated anyone else but me! And of course, SodaHeader's did not disappoint! I know this may offend some, but it's true for me!

    I only watched her show twice. The first time was when she endorsed Arnold for Governor, because Maria is her friend. The second time was when she endorsed that One. Never turned her back on my T.V. Glad shes gone from regular T.V. Her ass is still on T.V. but the ratings are poor.

    Nope, she never did anything for me, and probably never will. She may very well be a very good business woman. But I think she is still a joke.

    I love Oprah but I haven't watched her show since she decided to leave Chicago. She has a right to do what she wants. So do I. The Oprah Show & Harpo studios brought thousands of jobs to Chicago. Some jobs were created in the studio itself the other jobs were from tourists that came to see the show in person.
    After she announced her decision I watched for a while. When the show went into summer reruns I started watching Perry Mason reruns.
