Dr. Yvette Kratzberg answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Compulsive lying: Compulsive Lying is a mental health issue. A person may lie to gain attention or admiration. Other lies may be designed to garner pity or help from others. Even self-harming lies may provide some form of internal gratification. Treatment requires psychological counseling and treatment. Talk to a mental health professional who can suggest a course of treatment.
