It is called Munchausen’s syndrome. This diagnosis is becoming more popular with the young teens. It is most commonly diagnosed in mothers who make their children ill to get attention. That is called Munchausen’s by proxy.
I hope your friend gets the medical and mental help she needs. It really is an illness that takes over you and becomes uncontrollable.
