What I was looking for were some real conference papers, because I was down a rabbit hole for no particular reason, and happened across this.

 

Pilowsky (1985) coined the term ‘malingerophobia’—to describe the
‘irrational and maladaptive fear of being tricked into providing health care to individuals who
masquerade as sick, but either have no illness at all, or have a much less severe one than they
claim’. Coincidently, it is interesting to note that the most popular course run by the Amer-
ican Psychiatric Association every year involves the detection of malingered mental illness
(Wessely 1995).

I loved the tag that @Haveyoutriedyoga applied to this thread. I'll probably add a few more tags, but I thought it was worth immortalising in its succinct glory:

Section 2, item 4 also had me snorting out loud.
