TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Postpartum depression and factitious disorder: a new presentation JO - International journal of psychiatry in medicine A1 - Gojer, J. A1 - Berman, T. SP - 287 EP - 293 VL - 30 IS - 3 N2 - This article discusses a presentation of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. It is believed this factitious disorder was precipitated and grew out of the context of a postpartum depression. To our knowledge, no such case has been reported in the past and implications for new exclusion criteria defining a fictitious disorder are raised. Furthermore, reintegration of the perpetrator back to family is discussed and suggestions are made for follow-up.
