A member asked:

What mental illness makes a person lie constantly, about everything, big and small?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: Lying is the result of how an individual interacts with the world. If one continually lies this may reflect a problem with self perception or not liking ones self. This can have many different causes. Psychotherapy is the usual treatment for this type of problem.
