Pathological Lying Vs Normal Lying? How To Tell the Difference

The video discusses pathological lying, differentiating it from normal and prolific lying. Pathological lying is not a recognized mental disorder but is seen as a behavioral disturbance. The video explores research on deception, categorizing lies into normal, prolific, and pathological. Normal lying involves minor lies, while prolific lying includes more frequent and significant lies. Pathological lying is compulsive, often without clear motives, and can become indistinguishable from truth for the liar. Treatment options are limited, focusing on therapy to increase self-awareness and potentially using medication for compulsive tendencies.
