In this Shemida update, let's look at Dr Phil's patient and how she's doing now. When she first arrived on the show she claimed she couldn't leave her bedroom because of her health issues. Her family, however, thought differently. Her family said on the show that she was a 'dramatic hypochondriac' who was addicted to her opioid medication. 

At the time of appearing on the show, Shemida was 18 years of age and she was 7 months pregnant. Her parents also claimed that John was abusive and controlling towards her. Dr Phil had asked her a very serious question on the show, ''Do you think this has gotten a grip on you to point that you have stopped being Shemida and started being a patient? Has your identity become a sick person?''
