Factitous disorder and malingering are not the same thing. In factitious disorder illness is simulated to assume the "sick role" while malingering is for personal benefit (insurance claim, worker's comp etc.)

thats right . understand the difference between factitious disorder and malingering. In factitiouments disorder the patient undergoes treatment, maybe many times for some gain. But in malingering, the patient will avoid treatment. and the malingering stops after the patient has gained what he started acting up for.
