Morbid jealousy
Morbid jealousy, also known as Othello

which a person is preoccupied with the thought that their spouse
or sexual partner is being unfaithful without having any real proof,
along with socially unacceptable or abnormal behaviour related to
these thoughts.[1] The most common cited forms of
psychopathology in morbid jealousy are delusions and obsessions.
It is considered a subtype of delusional disorder.

Munchausen Syndrome
Factitious disorder is a serious mental disorder in which someone
deceives others by appearing sick, by purposely getting sick, or
by self-injury. Factitious disorder symptoms can range from mild
(slight exaggeration of symptoms) to severe (previously called
Munchausen syndrome). The person may make up symptoms or

even tamper with medical tests to convince others that

treatment, such as high-risk surgery, is needed.
A factitious disorder is not the same as inventing medical
problems for practical benefit, such as getting out of work or
winning a lawsuit. Although people with factitious disorder know
they are causing their symptoms or illness, they may not
understand the reasons for their behavior.
