Actual question for the psychiatry/psychology fags in here, is there a term for when a person so desperately wants a specific psych diagnosis and the “perks” that come with it that they start convincing themselves they do in fact have the disorder, and they go from consciously to eventually unconsciously emulating/manifesting the psych symptoms? To the point that their presentation is indistinguishable from the diagnosis they desire (like telling a lie so often you start believing it). Do we just call it a day and treat what we see anyway? I understand this unconscious stuff might fall under conversion disorders but those seem to only ever refer to fake physical neurological symptoms like being unable to walk. Or is this line essentially impossible to draw because there’s no realistic way to know what info/intentions someone is withholding
