This week we will be covering the mysterious disorder of Munchausen syndrome.

Munchausen Syndrome is a factitious disorder in which a person repeatedly and deliberately acts as if he or she has a physical or mental illness when they are not really sick. However, the syndrome itself is considered a mental illness because it is often associated with severe emotional difficulties.
