After this pandemic, it would seem unbelievable that anyone would want to be sick. However, people suffering from Muchausen and Muchausen by proxy intentionally fabricate or exaggerate illness for their own gain. This debilitating and often abusive behavior can have widespread consequences for the individuals, families, and even providers involved. In this episode, we have a conversation with special guests Dr. Marc Feldman, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama and expert in Muchausen, and Andrea Dunlop, an author with personal experiences with Muchausen by proxy. Dr. Feldman and Andrea describe this mind-boggling disorder and its devastating effects on the community.
