May be different in different countries too I guess - but Ive never seen someone faking in the hospitals here (Australia).
A girl in my hospital said she cut herself because everyone at school was doing it. WTH?! When I cut my arms, and had to go to the ER for staples, I lied and told the Dr I fell through a plate glass window.

I have read that there was like a 40 fold increase in the diagnosis of bioplar minors. So, maybe it is like the new ADHD.
