The Munchausen syndrome is kind of a mental disorder in which the person who is perfectly alright tries to show or depict that he is not well, and is feeling sick and needs attention. The reason why the person behaves this way is because he is suffering from depression or anxiety or emotional difficulties or lack of motivation or abuse in the past
So, the person who is suffering from this syndrome is basically trying to fake an illness; The identification of this syndrome can be difficult as the person is faking, being dishonest and is trying to make us believe that he needs diagnosis and attention, and rightly so, we as humans have the tendency to show sympathy towards a person's suffering.

When the doctor gets to notice that a person is suffering from such a disorder, he will initiate treatment by the talking therapy. The doctor during the treatment tries to bring in a change in the behavior and thought process of the person.
When we find any person in our relation, suffering from this disorder, we should try to encourage them to fight it out, we should allow them to talk to us, we should make them more comfortable, we should try to get them rid of depression and anxiety issues. We should never abandon or ostracize the people who are suffering from this disorder as they can be cured only by love, care and motivation to lead a better life.
