Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mother has Munchhausen Disease. She abused me, as well as herself. Is there a possibility that she has both Munchhausen and Munchhausen-by-proxxy? Also, is there any possible way she could come to a reality that she is hurting us? She thinks what she did is right, when we all know it isn t. Thanks!
Munchausen syndrome is different and in Munchausen, a person acts as if she is having some disease condition. It is a mental illness and can be corrected with proper treatment. You can consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
