A member asked:
How exactly is munchausen by proxy diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult: It can be a suspicion on the part of the treating provider. Sometimes, it is found by accident. It is not easy to diagnose. Most of the cases I have seen were diagnosed by video monitoring in the hospital setting.
