Answer;
Emotionally needy describes an individual with Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

Explanation;
Munchausen syndrome is another name for factitious disorder, which is a mental disorder in which a person repeatedly and deliberately acts as if he or she has a physical or mental illness when they are not really sick. It is associated with severe emotional difficulties. Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a form of factitious disorder caused when a caregiver induces symptoms in a child.
