Reading Wu’s story was quite intriguing. At first, I did not imagine  a field study pertaining to Munchausen’s (a form of Factitious disease) would exist.. After all, I watch a lot of Law and Order, and Doctor, so I have I am quite familiar with it. have only ever heard of it in TV shows like Law and order SVU. There’s a distinction between Elise and most cartoon characters I watched growing up. Elise wanted to change, be better, one she figured exactly what she had been doing, and the affect the disease had on those around her. however, sadly, she wasn’t able to get help or stop what she was doing because trying to find out the root of her disease made her behavior the way it was.  One element of Factitious disease that caught my attention was the psychological dilemmas and physical issues. I personally connected with this because of my sudden anxiety attacks when Im stressed out, and the physical pain it would cause me.
