Munchausen syndrome is a mental health disorder characterized by a pattern of seeking attention and sympathy by faking or exaggerating physical or psychological symptoms. Individuals with munchausen syndrome may try very hard to fake symptoms or even cause illness or injury to themselves. They may repeatedly seek medical treatment, undergo unnecessary procedures, and even alter medical records to maintain the appearance of being ill. The motivation behind munchausen syndrome is often a desire for attention, care, or validation from healthcare providers and others. Treatment for munchausen syndrome typically involves therapy to address underlying psychological issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
