There is also a mental disorder known as Factitious Disorder where people actually falsify symptoms of a physical or mental disability but don't do it intentionally or for external incentives. I am sure this could be difficult to identify during a criminal case and may even be misdiagnosed as malingering if the doctor doesn't have the defendants history.
