What is the mental disorder where people hurt themselves for attention?

The mental disorder where individuals intentionally harm themselves for attention is often associated with "Factitious Disorder," particularly "Factitious Disorder Imposed on Self." This condition involves an individual feigning illness or injury to gain attention, sympathy, or validation. It differs from other self-harming behaviors, as the primary motivation is to assume the role of a patient rather than to express emotional distress. Treatment typically involves psychotherapy to address underlying issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
