Munchausen syndrome (Facititious Disorder).
Munchausen Syndrome is a severe form of factitious disorder in which the clients fakes physical or psychological symptoms for a gain, e.g. money, benefits, or insurance. This condition is also called hospital addiction syndrome, hospital hopper syndrome, and thick chart syndrome since the client has a history of making frequent hospital or doctor visits. This psychiatric disorder also sees people malingering their disorders in order to seek attention and sympathy for others. Unlike Somatic Symptom Disorder, this individual is well aware of his or her tendencies to fake injuries in order to get what he or she wants.
