ICD-11 Criteria for Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (6D51)
Factitious disorder imposed on
another is characterised by feigning, falsifying, or inducing, medical,
psychological, or behavioural signs and symptoms or injury in another person,
most commonly a child dependent, associated with identified deception. If a
pre-existing disorder or disease is present in the other person, the individual
intentionally aggravates existing symptoms or falsifies or induces additional
symptoms. The individual seeks treatment for the other person or otherwise
presents him or her as ill, injured, or impaired based on the feigned,
falsified, or induced signs, symptoms, or injuries. The deceptive behaviour is
not solely motivated by obvious external rewards or incentives (e.g., obtaining
disability payments or avoiding criminal prosecution for child or elder abuse).
Coding
Note: The
diagnosis of Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another is assigned to the
individual who is feigning, falsifying or inducing the symptoms in another
person, not to the person who is presented as having the symptoms. Occasionally
the individual induces or falsifies symptoms in a pet rather than in another
person.
