Answer:

Illness unresponsive to treatment is expected.

Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the Factitious disorder is considered a mental illness because it’s associated with severe emotional difficulties. This causes people to pretend to be sick when they truly are not. Which is why medication does not work because there is nothing to treat in the first place.

I hope this helps!
