More info needed: If this is very recent behavior she may just be attention seeking. In children, and some adults, bad attention is better than no attention. If this has a longer history and the behavior is seen with other people there may be more serious issues. Her medical provider is a good place to start and can refer to a therapist of counselor if needed.
