abstract="A 17 year old, adolescent male was treated at Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh, for reason of drug ingestion. It was discovered that he took 35 tablets of alprazolam 0.25mg. Past history revealed that he had demonstrated such behaviour on several other occasions (4-5 times). This case merited attention simply for the reason that there is a variance between motive-induced self-harm and pure desire to commit suicide. This case qualifies to be called &quot;Munchausen Syndrome&quot; as the events unfolded in the paper. © 2015, World Informations Syndicate. All rights reserved.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
