Munchhausen syndrome, also known as Factitious Disorder Imposed on Self, is a psychological condition where an individual deliberately fabricates or exaggerates symptoms of illness for attention or sympathy. While the term "Munchhausen syndrome" is commonly used, it is now more accurately referred to as Factitious Disorder. It's important to differentiate this from Munchausen by Proxy, where someone fabricates illness in another person. Both conditions are recognized in the field of psychology but are relatively rare.
