OBJECTIVE
Factitious disorder is amongst the more intriguing but less-studied psychological disorders. Studies from different parts of the world have reported of varying prevalence rates. Here, we try to study the prevalence of factitious disorder in a specific sample of patients attending a neuropsychiatric center in India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We did a retrospective review of our institute's database for cases with a diagnosis of factitious disorder in the 10-year duration from 2001 to 2010. We reviewed the available clinical and socio-demographic data.
RESULTS
Of the 81,176 patients seen in the 10-year duration, only 8 patients had been assigned the diagnosis of factitious disorder, leading to a prevalence rate of 0.985 per 10,000 patients in this sample. Most of the patients were lost to follow-up; hence.
CONCLUSION
Factitious disorder remains highly underdiagnosed in developing countries like India. Mental health professionals need to be more aware and inquisitive about this particular disorder, so that they do not miss the diagnosis.
目的
诈病是一种更具吸引力但研究较少的心理障碍。来自世界不同地区的研究报告了不同的患病率。在此，我们试图研究在印度一家神经精神科中心就诊的特定患者样本中诈病的患病率。
材料与方法
我们对本机构2001年至2010年这10年间诊断为诈病的病例数据库进行了回顾性研究。我们查阅了现有的临床和社会人口统计学数据。
结果
在这10年间就诊的81176名患者中，仅有8名患者被诊断为诈病，该样本中每10000名患者的患病率为0.985。大多数患者失访；因此。
结论
在印度这样的发展中国家，诈病的诊断仍严重不足。心理健康专业人员需要对这种特殊障碍有更高的认识并保持警觉，以免漏诊。
