ICD-11 code : 6D50;
Preferred Label : Factitious disorder imposed on self;
ICD-11 definition : Factitious disorder imposed on self is characterized by feigning, falsifying, or inducing
medical, psychological, or behavioural signs and symptoms or injury associated with
identified deception. If a pre-existing disorder or disease is present, the individual
intentionally aggravates existing symptoms or falsifies or induces additional symptoms.
The individual seeks treatment or otherwise presents himself or herself as ill, injured,
or impaired based on the feigned, falsified, or self-induced signs, symptoms, or injuries.
The deceptive behavior is not solely motivated by obvious external rewards or incentives
(e.g., obtaining disability payments or evading criminal prosecution). This is in
contrast to Malingering, in which obvious external rewards or incentives motivate
the behaviour;
