What does reverse munchausen mean? She gets off on giving attention to people faking a disease?

I got the name wrong. Munchausen by proxy. They have an intense neurosis that demands they care for a sick person to the point where they will often poison or harm the object of their affection to put them in a situation where they can care for them. It's a plot point in some movies, such as Phantom Thread. Here's an article if you want to learn more.
