==Tertiary gain== Tertiary gain, a less well-studied process, is the benefit that a third-party receives from the patient's symptoms.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Dansak |first1=Daniel A. |title=On the tertiary gain of illness |journal=Comprehensive Psychiatry |date=November 1973 |volume=14 |issue=6 |pages=523β534 |doi=10.1016/0010-440X(73)90038-2 |pmid=4764353 }}</ref> It includes [[gaslighting]] wherein a person, such as a family member or [[healthcare]] worker for financial or other reasons, manipulates a patient into believing that they are ill. Tertiary gain can also be received when, for example, a [[pharmaceutical]] company runs [[advertisements]] to convince viewers they have symptoms which require treatment with the company's drug.{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}}
