This may include abuse or neglect and false supporting evidence. They present the person as being mentally infirm.
Might conceivably be from a mother who was abused as a child. Motive; for the caregiver to feel well. Therapy rarely helps as the caregiver feels well at the expense of the child. The caregiver may exaggerate or make up symptoms. Affects children into adulthood.
