Overcome

For Alice Tayler, the only way to get attention in a family plagued by mental ill health was to hurt herself - at least, that's what Munchausen syndrome led her to believe.

Overcome paints a jarring picture of what Tayler's life has been like with this psychological condition, one that has caused her to feign illness or pain to get others to care for her. While her story may be tough to read at times, it's an important one to be told, considering how hard it can be to understand Munchausen syndrome from the outside looking in.
