“Pathological lying is still being studied, but its cause appears to be a
number of conditions. Pathological lying is a symptom of various personality
disorders
<https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/qa/what-are-personality-disorders>,
including antisocial, narcissistic, and histrionic personality disorders.
Other conditions, such as borderline personality disorder, may also lead to

Finally, some people simply lie pathologically but have no other
conditions.”
