Have you ever lied about having a mental disorder Is there a mental disorder for people who do this?
When you say "lied about having a mental disorder" I'm going to assume that you mean that they lied to say they had one when they did not. If it is the other way around, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to do so including the intense stigma of mental disorders and how people view those individuals. Reasons that people lie to say that they do have a mental disorder would be that they are seeking attention or pity, and/or that they truly are deluded to believe that some thing is wrong with them. This is often called Munchausen syndrome where a person makes up fantastic clinical diagnoses without having any clinical evidence of being sick, or hypochondriasis which is a constant fear of and belief that an individual has that they have some sort of disorder, illness, or sickness.
