Quote From: redrumMy sister was diagnosed with munchausen 10 year ago and nothing has been done to help my nephew. I have made calls to CPS, therappists, Mental Health Centers, Doctors and teachers. I don't know what elso to do to help this young man he is 16. He cannot go to schoo ldue to severe anxiety has very few experiences ourtside of the home actually only with family members. When he is awake which is all night he is on the computer. His Mother refuses to get hime into a treatment center because she is "afraid that he will be exposed to drugs or inapprporiate behaviors. She was diagnosed with Munchausen 10 years ago and completely denies having the disease. In the meantime her son is in desperate shape and needs help badly. I live 2500 miles away and don't know what to do to help. The rest of the family is pretty m uch feeling the same way we are all at a loss and very concerned. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Does she have Munchausen Syndrome or Muchausen by proxy Syndrome?
