These disorders present significant challenges by obscuring the distinction between genuine illness and fabricated symptoms, creating dilemmas for both forensic and healthcare professionals (Feldman & Yates, Dying to be ill: True stories of medical deception, Routledge, 2018). As aspiring forensic experts, your understanding of these conditions is essential to support the healthcare systems.
