"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.

Yeah... I was wondering if that was what the mother had in "The Sixth Sense." Seems like it.
