Hi
My sister has some mental issues, which today I learned may be brought on by her. One on the disorders mentioned to me was "mirandering", I am not sure if this is how you spell it. What it means is she tells story which she may believe are true, or believes them for manupilation and/or deceptive reasons, which are needed at the time of conversation with someone or getting someone to feel pity or sorrow for her. Has anyone heard of this? Or know what it might be called. The mental health worker was talking so fast on the phone i was unable to get the correct word Thanks |

Hi me62
Welcome to PC  I think you may mean "malingering" which I've attached a link that may help in defining a bit. http://www.psychologytoday.com/condi...lingering.html Good luck and take care of you! Dee
