Understanding Factitious Disorder by Proxy
Factitious Disorder by Proxy, previously known as Munchausen Syndrome, involves creating or exaggerating symptoms in another person to gain attention and care. In high conflict situations like child custody disputes, one parent may falsely claim that the child has medical conditions like ADHD or autism to maintain control and power over the child. Seeking multiple medical opinions and involving legal professionals may be necessary to address such behavior.
