Factitious disorder imposed on self

Okay kiddo, so sometimes people want attention and they might make themselves sick on purpose. This is called factitious disorder imposed on self. It means they pretend to be sick or actually make themselves sick to get attention from doctors and other people. They might even lie about their medical history to make it seem like they have a serious condition. This is not a good way to get attention because it can hurt their health and it's not fair to the people who try to help them. It's important to always be honest about how we feel and ask for help in healthy ways.
