The psychosomatic disorder termed Munchausen's syndrome has gained official recognition in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, in which it is referred to as a "chronic factitious disorder with physical symptoms." Sporadic case reports have been published over the years. Few patients with this disorder allow themselves to be psychologically evaluated or seek treatment for the disorder itself. We report here an unusual case in which a young woman sought help for her hospital-peregrinating behavior.
被称为孟乔森综合征的身心障碍已在美国精神病学协会的《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》中获得官方认可，在该手册中它被称为“伴有躯体症状的慢性做作性障碍”。多年来已有零星的病例报告发表。患有这种障碍的患者很少会让自己接受心理评估或寻求针对该障碍本身的治疗。我们在此报告一例不同寻常的病例，一名年轻女性因自己在各家医院辗转就医的行为寻求帮助。
