General question about DSM classifications

Is there a disorder/illness that describes a person who wants to have a mental illness/disorder or a cognitive disability? I’m seeing a trend on the internet of pubescent children who want to have a mental illness of some kind. It’s not a matter of hypochondria because they don’t fear having and illness. It’s not malingering because they aren’t faking to get out of something.

Sometimes these children refer to themselves as trans-<illness>. For example, transautistic. Identifying as autistic and behaving in a manner they think is consistent with autistic behavior.

Other times they’ll ask how to induce an illness in themselves. How do I become DID? I really want to have alters.

Then there’s those that self-diagnose, enjoy their “disability” and don’t want to get better.

Is there a name for someone who wants to be sick or disabled? What’s the underlying psych?

I don't know if there is a classification for that- but I am totally not in the least surprised to hear that.

How to put this without getting myself in trouble with the forum rules- I think it's societal, but we can't get overtly political in our debates here, it's against the forum rules.

I has a feeling kids get the impression Labels Are Important. If you have no labels, that may even be considered reprehensible. So I'd hazard some of these kids may be unconsciously computing that and getting themselves a needed label.

Also, well, social media. People talk about mental illness online in reasonable venues- and well, I'd argue Tik Tok itself is mentally ill- If you're a Normie white-bread kinda kid, and you see this person with a mental illness- we're back to labels again- get a gazillion views.. and social media is geared to make you need those views and likes... well, if I want to be liked, I need something wrong with me, don't I? Something to stand out. AND fit in. Sort of two for the price of one.

Those are the things that I think might be part of the underlying psych behind it. I could be totally wrong, but it seems reasonable. They see nothing but advantages, but don't understand they really, really don't want to be inside the head of a bona-fide mental illness. They don't want inside my head, really, they don't. But they can't know that. I mean, don't kids sorta kinda envy the kid with a cast on their arm? I did. You got to wear it everywhere- you didn't have to dress out for PE- and all the other kids signed it. I also didn't know how much a broken bone bloody hurts, either. As an adult I understand (from experience) I don't want to break a bone! Still... darn you get to wear that cast..

Just goes back to how I think kids should be denied the internet until they're like, 20 or something. Make it 30.

Munchausen syndrome.

But in that case, its a social trend and an ideology.
It's the idea you can be whatever you want and boundaries don't exist.

That in itself is similar to new age fantasies like the law of attraction.
It's taught in schools so people don't have any sense of self, so they search somewhere else.

The real classification is child neglect and domestic abuse, or Munchausen by proxy.
