I've never heard of a case of people "faking" it, but I suppose it could happen. There are also brain scans, psych evaluations, etc, but the social costs are too great. Why would you do it? If you were faking it, you'd be found out eventually. If you were not forced or if something else were going on, that would seem to be a psychological problem the same as having amputation sympath
