Short Description: Munchausen (Mom) Syndrome
Munchausen (Mom) Syndrome (MS), also known as Munchausen's by Proxy, is a condition where the sufferer falsifies having a disease, illness, injury, or trauma in themselves or others to draw attention, drama, praise, or sympathy to themselves.

Causes: The syndrome was named after Baron Münchhausen (Karl Friedrich Hieronymus Freiherr von Münchhausen, 1720-1797) who told many fantastical tales of his life (published as "The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" by Rudolf Raspe). Looking at the karma behind this disease, here is what drives it:

* Munchausen Mentality: The Munchausen mentality causes individuals to fabricate histories, signs, and symptoms of illness. Munchausen motivations include: the overwhelming need for constant attention, drama, and tension; the desire to manipulate others by using illness to control events; and the wish to avoid the normal responsibilities of life by drawing closer to death. Whatever the motivation is, the result is the same: a series of bouts with serious illness that keep the sufferer or someone close to them (their proxy) on the brink of death.

* Munchausen by Proxy: The Munchausen mothers who are addicted to the attention that their sick children bring them and so secretly work to keep their illnesses going. Their condition is often an occupational hazard that is inherited from past lives. Many of them were former "court fools" whose job it was to attract attention of their kings anyway they could. Failure was often fatal: lots of kings loved to see the fools tossed out of castle windows to their death. When these people reincarnate, they bring with them the craving for large scale and continuous attention that can tragically lead to the torture and even death of their own children.

* Hospital Addiction Syndrome: Some Munchausen sufferers are addicted to spending time in hospitals. These individuals did not have the talent, temperament, or training to become medical professionals and so they gain routine access to hospitals by inducing illness in themselves or others. The constant pattern of being well in the hospital and being ill at home is a key indicator of Munchausens. Another indicator is when sufferers seem to enjoy their 911 calls, their emergency medical transports, and the sympathy from medical professionals.

* Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII): Closely related to Munchausen's Mom Syndrome, FII is normally caused by caregivers who want to stay employed. For if the person they are caring for ever gets well they would be out of a job. So it is in their interest to keep their patient alive but not well enough to terminate care. So these caregivers, just like the Munchausen mothers, induce illnesses to keep their jobs as well as the bonus of praise for the job they are doing!
