I've never met anyone diagnosed with Munchausen, so I'm genuinely curious. Were they diagnosed by a medical professional, and are they aware of their diagnosis? How was hypochondria ruled out?

Because it isn’t them doing it. It’s “by proxy” someone else is doing the hypochondria not them. This varies to I had a friend who while it wasn’t munchausen her mom was constantly “you can’t eat that you know your allergic to milk” and other things. I was like can’t she just eat what she wants.
