False stalking syndrome

False stalking syndrome is similar to another disorder called "Munchausen’s Syndrome", named after a Baron who was famous for outlandish stories that were so convincing that people believed him. People with this disorder will go to the doctor for treatment as a means to gain attention, sympathy and support from others. Some mothers will take their children to doctors for treatment that is not necessary - called Munchausen's by Proxy.
