==Secondary gain== Secondary gain can also be a component of any disease, but is an external motivator. If a patient's disease allows them to miss work, avoid [[military]] duty, obtain [[financial]] compensation, obtain [[drugs]], avoid a [[jail]] sentence, etc., these would be examples of a secondary gain. For instance, an individual having household chores completed by someone else because they have [[stomach cramp]]s would be a secondary gain. In the context of a person with a significant psychiatric disability, this effect is sometimes called "secondary handicap".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jones |first1=Robert |last2=Harrison |first2=Carmel |last3=Ball |first3=Melany |title=Secondary Handicap & Learning Disability: A Component Analysis |journal=Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Research and Practice |date=October 2008 |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=300β310 |doi=10.5920/mhldrp.2008.52300 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
