malingering

Definition

What are the causes and risks of the condition?
Someone who malingers will fake an illness for some type of external gain, such as money. Those at higher risk are:

• those addicted to drugs

How is the condition diagnosed?
A healthcare professional may suspect malingering when a person is clearly trying to gain something, such as pain medication or money. Any tests ordered are usually negative. The physical exam often fails to show anything abnormal.

What can be done to prevent the condition?
There is no known way to prevent occasional faking of an illness. Holding a person accountable for his or her actions may help prevent repeat episodes of malingering.
