Munchausen by Proxy is a psychological disorder where a caregiver, often a parent, intentionally causes or fabricates illness in someone under their care, usually a child. This behavior seeks to gain attention, sympathy, or validation from others, particularly medical professionals. The condition can lead to serious harm for the victim, as they may undergo unnecessary medical treatments or procedures. Identifying Munchausen by Proxy can be challenging, as the caregiver often appears devoted and concerned, masking their harmful actions. Early intervention is crucial to protect the victim and address the caregiver's underlying issues.
