Thanks for that. Wiki page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factitious_disorder_imposed_on_self https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factitious_disorder_imposed_on... and US clinical terminology follows:
In DSM-5, the diagnostic manual published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013, this disorder is listed under 300.19 Factitious disorder. This, in turn, encompasses two types: Factitious disorder imposed on self – (formerly Munchausen syndrome). Factitious disorder imposed on another – (formerly Munchausen syndrome by proxy); diagnosis assigned to the perpetrator; the victim may be assigned an abuse diagnosis (e.g. child abuse).
