Munchausen’s Syndrome

Munchausen’s syndrome is a psychological disorder which causes the person to make unsubstantiated claims of illness. Munchausen syndrome can be difficult to identify and a combination of symptoms such as having an inconsistent medical history, expansive knowledge of medical terminology or a perceived willingness for medical procedures might indicate a problem. Psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and medication can help treat Munchausen syndrome.
