Is it possible for someone to give themselves a medical condition?!


Question: Is it possible for someone to give themselves a medical condition!?
I was wondering, if it was possible for someone to deliberately give themselves something like depression, insomnia or schizophrenia!? And if so, how do they do it!? No, I'm not considering it, I'm just curiousWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well most of the times when someone develops a medical condition, it is not deliberate!. Some things happen in their life that cause it to come about, or some things they do whether knowingly or unknowingly can contribute to the onset of a medical condition!. Some people can cause these things deliberately, either because they are self-destructive or do not see the need to live!. Or even do it just for attention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's called 'psychosematically making yourself sick'!. Basically you convince yourself that you dont feel well and you start to display the ailments of the sickness!. I have heard that woman can psychosematically make themselves pregnant, so their body acts like they are pregnant (such as gaining weight, period stopping) for a period of up to three months however they are not really pregnant, their body just acts like they are!.
A disease in which a person often is convinced they are sick is hypochondriasis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
