What Are Pathological Liars?
Are they Different from Compulsive Liars?
Jul 16, 2009 Jill Stefko

Pathological lying is a criterion for other psychiatric disorders, not one in itself. How does a person recognize and deal with pathological liars?

The DSM-IV TR, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fourth Edition, Revised Text, used by mental health professionals to diagnose for billing purposes, fails to have a specific definition of pathological lying as a psychiatric disorder, so a clear treatment for pathological lying in itself has not been defined.

The DSM recognizes that this type of lying can be symptomatic of other psychiatric disorders, especially Antisocial Personality Disorder or APD and Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD.

Pathological Liar Verses Compulsive Liar

When used properly, this refers to people who lie constantly to get their way and do so with little concern, regard or respect for the feelings and rights of others. It’s often associated another psychiatric disorder. Pathological liars are often goal-oriented as long as they get their own way. They are usually seen as manipulative, cunning and egotistical.

Many people confuse a pathological liar with a compulsive or habitual liar. These liars lie out of habit. They might bend the truth about everything. Telling the truth feels awkward; lying feels good. Most compulsive liars are not overly manipulative.

Warning Signs of Pathological Liars

A pathological liar might exhibit the following behaviors:

* Lie to control and get their own way
* Often change stories
* Exaggerate, lying about almost everything, but tell the truth about major ones
* Not value truth
* Live in their own reality most of the time
* Behave defensively when questioned or challenged
* Lie for sympathy
* Don’t admit they lie
* Contradict what they say because they don’t remember their lies, although there are exceptions

Pathological Liars with APD and NPD

While this type of lying can be present in other psychiatric disorders, they are most prevalent in the APD and the NPD. The hallmark of the APD is lacking conscience. They’re exploitive, have no regard for others’ feelings and lie repeatedly. The hallmarks of the NPD are a sense of entitlement and grandiosity. They exaggerate their achievements, lack empathy and exploit others.
