What if you're mistaken with these 2 theories?
Someone (a doctor, so an especially credible reporter) is claiming a miserable, debilitating medical condition.
For the sake of the scenario, let's assume the doctor is correct.
With that assumption, if they're being told that they're probably either imagining it or lying, isn't that adding insult to injury? And maybe slowing down whatever help they could get with the condition?

That seems like an overly pessimistic valance to bring to the hypothetical conversation about the factual possibilities which obviously include fictitious disorder, somatization, or, yes perhaps but not necessarily, malingering.
