Andrea Dunlop Sister Succumbed To Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MBP)
On a podcast, Andrea Dunlop recounted her experiences with her sister, Megan, who had unusual health behaviors throughout their lives.
Her sister, who endured numerous knee and back surgeries during her teenage years and once shaved her head to make it look like her hair was falling out, spent years experiencing various medical issues.
Andrea later discovered that her sister had Munchausen syndrome and eventually Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MBP).
Individuals with Munchausen syndrome fake illnesses, either physical or mental, sometimes by intentionally harming themselves.
Similarly, those with Munchausen syndrome by proxy, on the other hand, make another person appear sick, often by physically inducing illness through various means.
Troubled by Megan’s actions, Andrea’s family sought help from their family doctor.
Even though Megan seemed to lead a normal life, Andrea remained worried, particularly when Megan became pregnant again. She grew concerned for her nephew’s safety.
