Is this the same as faking a disease?

Most of the time it is someone who wants attention or pity. They give things to their children to make them sick so they will need them. When the child is feeling better they will give it to them again to make them sick again. Most of the time it is the mother of the child who does this. There have been cases of women doing this to their husbands too. But this is rare. It is a mental sickness that is sometimes hard to prove.
