Barbie is suffering from factitious disorder.  Factitious disorder is a mental disorder where a person acts as if they have an illness.  The patients are willing to have high risk procedures, such as surgery.  Factitious disorder is similar to malingering; however, the difference  that is people who have factitious disorder are willing to have risky procedures done.  People who suffer from malingering are pretending to be sick to get out of work, school, or military service.

How to solve superstition ​
Masja [62]

Superstition is a belief or notion, not based on reasons or knowledge, in or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurring, proceeding, or the like. To overcome superstition, figure out reality and cling to it. Reality is what the five senses—touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste—allow us to perceive. It is not reality if none of those can comprehend it. Remember that there are restrictions at this time. One cannot quickly grasp the distant past. For instance, I reject the existence of gods or invisible, immaterial entities since there is no proof for them. However, since fossilized dinosaur bones have been discovered all throughout the world, I assume that they actually existed. In other words, there is proof that they formerly existed.
