What is the point in faking mental illness?
It’s been reported many times that people have faked illness to gain money but in the end they have been caught out.
What is the point?
People will see you as mentally unwell and be very wary of you.
You will need to take medication you don’t need to begin with.
You will only get a at least a third of what you would work for [money]
Is it laziness?
There really is no point!
Its offensive
and who ever falls for it is stupid like you don’t just wake up one day and are spontaneoulsy brain damaged and unable to talk..You get signs and simptoms…
So it is pointless
They do it for attention they aren’t getting.
But you know, there is a mental illness with which the symptoms include faking sickness that you don’t have.
I wouldn’t say laziness, more like being greedy.
and taking medication for a condition that you don’t have will have consequences.
It could also be that they are trying to get some type of attention.
Sometimes they plead insanity to escape doing time.
I’ve heard that another reason someone might fake having a mental illness is to avoid trouble or responsibility.
