my step 1 behavior question

Patient was in for a check up. He faked everything to get worker compensation. It asked to make a diagnose on the patient. I remember something about malingering, factitious, conversion

this guy is malingering b/c the fake symptoms are intentional and the motivation is on a concious level. he knows he is faking it to gain compensation :twisted:

factitious would be intentional symptoms but the patient doesnt know why he's faking it :?

somatoform has unintentional symptom production and is unaware of the motivation. the patient doesnt have a clue that his symptoms are fake in this one :?:
