Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome is a very dangerous disorder. This disorder came about to identify a parent who intentionally causes harm to their child. This disorder was named after Baron von Munchausen who discovered it. Symptoms are hard to identify because many do not believe a parent could harm their own child. The main symptom is that the child only becomes sick or is harmed in the presence of their parent. The parent tries to maintain a relationship with the doctor of the child because this disorder is based on the parents need for attention from the doctor, other parents, and their child. MBPS is caused by a need for attention and sympathy of the parent for “helping” their child. The only treatment known for this disorder is extensive psychotherapy. Munchausen by Proxy is a very rare behavioral disorder. “This form of abuse claims the life of nine percent of children that fall victim to it.”

In relating the details of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP), the initial reaction is usually shock, followed quickly by fascination. The reason for the latter is that the medical community has yet to make up their minds about what exactly MSBP is. The debate: psychiatric disorder v. child abuse. Essentially the arguments for both create a divide between the brain and behavior, though not relating the two.

If you know someone with munchausen syndrome, you know how bad the disease is. If you don't know someone with the disease, I will tell you all about it. the disease isn't very big or popular anymore, because not a lot of women don't have this disease anymore. I have done a lot of research, and most of the diagnoses were done in the 1900s, but the disease is still around some places. This disease is mostly diagnosed to women, because most men don't feel the need to these kind of things. Personally, I don't know anyone with the disease, but I have been doing research for a while and things do get really serious. The disease is when women, that have children, don't feel enough love from their kids so they poison their kids food, and when kids are sick, what do they usually want the most their momma. Then the kids want their mother and the mothers feel loved more that usual. Women with munchausen are putting the lives of innocent children in danger, some are even going to the extreme and taking their lives.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental illness and form of child abuse that claims the lives of 9% of its victims (Heffner, 2004). It is defined as, “a psychological disorder in which a parent, typically a mother, harms her child (as by poisoning), falsifies the child 's medical history, or tampers with the child 's medical specimens in order to create a situation that requires or seems to require medical attention” (Merriam-Webster, 1977). In most cases, the mother is the abuser and plagues the life of her child and/or children by making them ill in order to receive attention, affection, and love. They thrive on feeling important and needed, and feel accomplished when they succeed in making their child/children ill (Meadow, 1989).

As a brand-new presentation of two classical types of factitious disorder known to cause individuals to overtly exaggerate or even feign disease, Munchausen syndrome (MS) and Munchausen by Proxy (MBP), the term “Munchausen by Internet,” or MBI for short, is an idiom that was originally proposed by Feldman (2000) in order to accurately depict the type of people prone to glorifying or even fantasizing about chronic illness or disability online – many of which who are willing to go to extremes to maintain or prove their image of chronic illness on social media. Although many things may be driving the behaviors of MBI offenders, the main attraction in pretending to be sick often pertains to the attainment of either attention, sympathy, acceptance,

Since the beginning of time, mankind has struggled to overcome great hardship for instance war, famine, and diseases. As history progressed mankind has advanced in modern warfare and modern medicine to combat many diseases, but many illnesses have evolved as well. Though modern medicine has improved to cure most physical ailments, yet it is difficult to cure an illness that infects the mind. Many mental disorders affect a person’s way of performing not only tasks but also thinking and behavior. Medical professionals and experts have developed theories that mental disorders can happen by extreme trauma to the head, brain defects, genetics, and troubled childhood of abuse. One particular mental disorder that often gets overlooked is Munchausen

After completing sophomore year of college, I participated in a summer internship at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (SIU-MED) with the Department of Psychiatry. I conducted a pilot study on comorbidities in children with mental diagnoses in a psychiatric population. Throughout the internship, I learned how to conduct research and the importance of psychiatry. It also introduced a lot of new experiences and challenges. Before the internship, I did not have much formal experience with research apart from class assignments and general research projects. Therefore, it was my first time creating a research proposal for the institutional review board to accept or reject and analyzing the data I obtained through statistical software.
