Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a term often used when a caregiver or spouse fabricates, exaggerates, or induces mental or physical health problems in those who are in their care, with the primary motive of gaining attention or sympathy from others. Munchausen syndrome by proxy should be considered as both crime and physiological disorder. This is because, if a person injects something toxic in the body of his/her or their children; that person may not fake to be ill but also, she or he will cause damage to the body (crime). On the other hand, a person may be physically going through some type of stress or mental illness; it can lead them to make fake symptoms (a psychological disorder).

Due to the disorder, Yates was suffering from, she went ahead and murdered all the 5 children because she thought her children were not growing well. this story kind of relates to the move where Nash tells his Wife that, she is not growing old but in the real sense, he was not referring to his wife but rather his niece. This means that individual with the disorder see things that are not real (visual Hallucination) and don’t show any regret of their crime of mistake. I also learned that poor people are more like to be diagnosed with schizophrenia. In this way, hampers Nash association with these friends. The effect on the him was not realistically depicted even though he could deal with his circumstance without taking solution. The motivation behind why this was not reasonably depicted is because Nash can proceed with his standard reviews before
