Malingering is a condition where an individual "fakes" an illness or disorder, whether medical or mental, in order to receive some type of reward or benefit. Common benefits include legal payouts (whiplash, Back pain), disability payments (back pain, mental illness) or prescription medication (narcotics, benzodiazapines, amphetamines, etc.). The benefit could also be to avoid something, such as military duty, a prison sentence, working, etc.
Malingering is more common in male-dominated settings, such as prisons, the military, veterans hospitals, and certain occupational settings.
