Does MBP deal ONLY with med (illness) aspects or is there a form that deals solely with emotional/mental harming?

I am adult survivor of MBP, mostly by psychological abuse, convinced me & everyone else that I was a schizophrenic.

Guest, I've been pondering that question for a few years myself. I know that I've been left with major distortions in thinking ... depression ... years of self-harm. There is no doubt in my mind that MSBP can be aimed at the mind. I was taken to a psychiatrist when I was 1-1/2 years of age!! For what...I will never know. That was the beginning of a campaign by my mother to convince teachers, caregivers, and the rest of our family that I was insane. I was subjected to physical/medical invasions, yes, but what I am most left with now (nearly 40 years after the Munchausen abuse ended) is a sometimes terrible struggle to be, and stay, sane.

Check out the link below -- although the article does not specifically speak to the mind-damage that is done through MSBP, there is some good information there overall.

Wishing you healing.
