Article on "morbid gain"

Hello!

I have found your profile on the Wikipedia Project on Medicine, looking for an expert in psychiatry. I believe the article on "primary and secondary morbid gain" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_and_secondary_gain ) is not of medium, let alone low relevance, but of high relevance, in psychiatry, medicine in general, and also economically and from a social/societal/and family perspective.

The article has very substantial quality issues, being blatantly wrong oftentimes. I would like to ask you to put a strong reader warning to the top of that article until it is fixed, and if possible temporary point readers to the German article which is well-written (i.e., mention that they should check that one out).

The issues have already been noted on the discussion page by other users, but nobody seems to care.

I have translated the German article in part (I am a German native speaker, but not an English native speaker (obviously)). However I can guarantee that the translation is 100% correct -- just not in good style always:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krankheitsgewinn

Morbid gain (German: Krankheitsgewinn) is a general term for the objective and/or subjective advantages that a (actually or supposedly) ill person derives from his illness or that a patient derives from his diagnosis.

General

In European culture, as soon as a person assumes the role of a sick person, he or she can generally expect ...

   to be relieved of everyday duties,
   to experience sympathy / pity / compassion and/or
   to be treated gently by his environment.

The sick person can also count on economic support from social insurance agencies; he is thus partially or completely relieved of having to work for a living.[1]

This attitude is generally considered socially desirable and needs to be distinguished from aggravation and simulation:

   Simulation is a deliberate and conscious pretense and imitation of symptoms of disease without pathological significance.
   In aggravation, actual symptoms of disease are present; these are then intentionally overemphasized.[2]

The classification of primary and secondary morbid gain goes back to Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis.

Primary and secondary morbid gain

Primary morbid gain consists of inner or direct advantages that the sick person derives from his symptoms: e.g., it allows him to avoid situations or conflicts that he perceives as unpleasant. The symptom is then experienced as unpleasant, but it allows the sick person not to have to make an immediate decision that could lead out of the conflict; often he does not even recognize that he is facing a conflict. He only feels in an unpleasant situation that at that moment seems hopeless to him and that makes him weak. The connection between this conflict and symptoms of illness is not considered possible and remains unconscious. Also, the symptom may unconsciously serve to avoid more unpleasant conflicts (e.g., suddenly falling ill before a difficult exam).

Secondary morbid gain (external morbid gain[3]) refers to the external benefits that the ill person can derive from existing symptoms, such as receiving attention and consideration from those around them and/or, for example, being able to stay in bed and be served food there.[5]

Tertiary and quaternary morbid gain

Tertiary morbid gain refers to benefits for the patient's environment. For example, for relatives, the care they are providing can be perceived as enrichment, since the caregiver is elevated to a position of competence and feels that he or she is needed, and can thus view himself or herself as a savior. In the broadest sense, all health care professions profit from tertiary morbid gain; see also helper syndrome.

Quaternary morbid gain refers to the ideological reevaluation and upvaluation of suffering or illness.[7] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.189.110.31 (talk) 14:06, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
