What is munchaseuns and differential diagnosis

I've been recalling something I read on the wiki page. It said it was a type of factious disorder.

I didn't think this is true. I think munchaseuns is uncontrollable and while the symptoms might not be true or exaggerated or self inflicted there is a psychopathology behind it.

I'm not sure though. I'm trying to remember the debatre about munchausens syndrome. The case study I read proves it exists but there's a debate in the consensus of mental health as to its veracity.

Its sort of like it is an illness about people making up illnesses but it is illness by them doing that.
