The answer is Pathological lying. It could also be mythomania as well as pseudologia fantastica. I am unsure what you’re learning about so it could truly be one of them that I’ve listed or something completely different. Were you given a multiple choice question?

Answer: Jeremy is likely to suffer from Munchausen syndrome

Explanation:

Munchausen syndrome:

Munchausen syndrome refers to a disorder in which a person constantly feel and intentionally act as if they are mental ill or physical ill eventhough they are not, sometimes because they are struggling with some emotional issues.

They may go to the hospital and insist that they need to be admitted eventhough nothing shows that they are suffering from any mental or physical sickness.

Jeremy is faking being sick and lying to his colleagues saying he is suffering from neurological conditions just to get their attention and this pretence or faking the sickness and the obsession with medical care eventhough Jeremy isn't sick is a sign of Munchausen syndrome.
