@Group14_LJM @DrDaveT I havent seen the entire series, not my kind of show. As for why, it can be due to childhood neglect or abuse. Lack of attention or other mental health issues.

@cheerymcleary @DrDaveT Hi group 15, i just wanted to know if the research process easy or difficult

[Group 16 member @Thomasbaird_16]

@Brandon45802983 @DrDaveT We did find the topic interesting. I personally found the difficulty in diagnosis very interesting as it can be very difficult and time consuming to diagnose an individual with the condition.

@dunya0322 @PriyankaKhawas6 An inconsistent medical record is a very common indicator.

@meganma67808191 @DrDaveT It is not genetic but can children can suffer from the condition if their parent/guardian did through observation and mimicry.

@PtolomeyRebecca @DrDaveT Maunchausen syndrome is the advanced and more serious form of factitious disorder. Maunchausen syndrome by proxy involves a parent/guardian exerting control over a child through fake medical conditions and treatments

@MarMoh95 @DrDaveT Hi group 12, I just wanted to ask how common is the condition and is it more likely to affect cetain groups?

@Brandon45802983 @DrDaveT Hi group 17, I just wanted to ask was the research process for the topic easy or difficult?

[Group 16 member @Thomasbaird_16]

@1_avian @DrDaveT We narrowed down the topics to 2, factitous disorder or schistosomiasis. We chose factitious disorder as we thought it was more relatable and more interesting

@ClaireN112425 @DrDaveT How was the research process for the poster, was it easy or difficult?

[Group 16 member @Thomasbaird_16]

@HayleyRMNHV @DrDaveT Recently "The Act" protrayed maunchausen syndrome by proxy (which is a form of factitous diorder) very well, showing how the disorder can affect the individual and those around them.

[Group 16 member @Thomasbaird_16]

@HayleyRMNHV @DrDaveT Factitious disorder is difficult to represent in media as it can often devolve into a character being overly self destructive or desperate for attention.

[Group 16 member @Thomasbaird_16]

@HayleyRMNHV @DrDaveT Due to the condition being difficult to diagnose there is likely many more unconfirmed cases.

[Group 16 member @Thomasbaird_16]

@HayleyRMNHV @DrDaveT We chose this topic as we found it to be more relatable compared to other topics and that it might resonate with people.
