Answer to Question 1

Similarities all involve physical symptoms with no physical cause. All involve some gain. Differences only
in conversion disorder are the symptoms involuntary, in factitious and malingering the person is consciously
faking. While all can involve gain, the main type of gain is different. In conversion disorder the main gain is
avoiding or escaping a stressful situation without taking responsibility for doing so. In factitious disorder, the
person enjoys the sick role. In malingering, the gain is typically monetary, e.g. a law suit.

Answer to Question 2

B
