Hello,

I see you are asking "What are the treatments for munchausen syndrome?"

There's no standard treatment for Munchausen's syndrome, but a combination of psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown some success in controlling symptoms. Psychoanalysis is a type of psychotherapy that attempts to uncover and resolve unconscious beliefs and motivations.

Is it at all possible to be a narcissistic sociopath while suffering from Munchhausen's?

Yes, it is. Many sociopaths are narcissistic by nature (i.e. caring about themselves to an extreme). Munchausen's syndrome is related to narcissism, as it is focused on attention-getting. Most sociopaths do not have Munchausen's, but most people with Munchausen's are probably sociopaths (or at least narcissists).
