 Factitious disorders are a set of conditions in which an individual intentionally produces or falsifies physical or psychological symptoms for the purpose of assuming the sick role. This behavior is not under completely voluntary control, like malingering, nor is it typically a manifestation of anxiety, like in somatic symptom disorders. Unlike malingering, where the individual fabricates symptoms for external incentives such as financial gain or avoiding work, people with factitious disorders are motivated by a desire to be seen as ill without external rewards. Also, factitious disorders are not considered a form of typical child abuse; however, when an individual—often a caregiver—falsely presents someone else (commonly a child) as sick, injured, or having problems functioning, it is known as Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA), previously called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is a form of abuse.
