· Appears quite concerned (some might seem overly concerned) about the child or designated patient
· Might also suffer from Munchausen syndrome (this is a related disorder in which the caregiver
repeatedly acts as if he or she has a physical or mental illness when he or she has caused the symptoms.)
Other possible warning signs of MSP in children include the following:
· The child has a history of many hospitalizations often with a strange set of symptoms.
· Worsening of the child's symptoms generally is reported by the mother and is not witnessed bu the
hospital staff
· The child's reported condition and symptoms do not agree with the results of diagnostic tests.
· There might be more than one unusual illness or death of children in the family.
· The child's condition improves in the hospital, but symptoms recur when the child returns home.
