there is a boy at school that lies alot, is it a real disease and is there a name for it?Why do people lie when they have the disease.Plz tell me.Its really bothering me!
Answer:There are several possible reasons -- or labels -- for this boy's behavior. People who lie constantly are often called pathological liars. That's not an official clinical diagnosis, which means it's not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, or DSM-IV. But chronic lying in adults is often a manifestation of antisocial personality disorder (also known as sociopathy). Sociopaths are often deceitful and manipulative in order to gain personal profit or pleasure.
Complusive,Habitual or Pathological liar also Narcissist
