This may sound like a strange context for a pop culture reference, but is this "Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy" what the mother had in "The Sixth Sense?"

"Munchausen by proxy" is ... too weird and hard to explain. It involves secretly hurting someone else, and then taking care of them, in order to gain approval from the doctor at what a great caretaker you are. I think it's mostly done to children.
