Despite what you may initially think, sociopaths can experience love. “While sociopath is not a diagnosis (psychologists tend to diagnose antisocial personality disorder, which shares some commonalities), it is possible that sociopaths can love in a relationship — in their own way,” Dr.
A lack of conscience and empathy, disregard for rules and norms, and impulsive and aggressive tendencies are all common traits of a sociopath. These traits make a person more likely to use, exploit, abuse, or harm other people, so many sociopaths are dangerous people to allow into your life.
Symptoms of a dissociative disorderfeeling disconnected from yourself and the world around you.forgetting about certain time periods, events and personal information.feeling uncertain about who you are.having multiple distinct identities.feeling little or no physical pain.
The dissociative disorders that need professional treatment include dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, depersonalisation disorder and dissociative identity disorder. Most mental health professionals believe that the underlying cause of dissociative disorders is chronic trauma in childhood.
Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by dramatic, overly emotional or unpredictable thinking or behavior. They include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.
This is a normal process that everyone has experienced. Examples of mild, common dissociation include daydreaming, highway hypnosis or “getting lost” in a book or movie, all of which involve “losing touch” with awareness of one's immediate surroundings.

Characteristics. Defining characteristics of pathological lying include. An internal motive for the behavior cannot be discerned clinically: e.g., long-lasting extortion or habitual spousal battery might cause a person to lie repeatedly, without the lying being a pathological symptom. The stories told tend toward presenting the liar favorably.
It was first described in the medical literature in 1895 by Anton Delbrück [ de]. Although it is a controversial topic, pathological lying has been defined as "falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime".
Other names. Pseudologia fantastica, mythomania. Specialty. Psychiatry. Pathological lying, also known as mythomania and pseudologia fantastica, is a mental disorder in which the person habitually or compulsively lies. It was first described in the medical literature in 1895 by Anton Delbrück [ de].
Due to lack of trust, most pathological liars' relationships and friendships fail. If this continues to progress, lying could become so severe as to cause legal problems, including, but not limited to, fraud.
Lying is the act of both knowingly and intentionally or willfully making a false statement. Normal lies are defensive and are told to avoid the consequences of truth telling. They are often white lies that spare another's feelings, reflect a pro-social attitude, and make civilized human contact possible. Pathological lying can be described as an habituation of lying . It is when an individual consistently lies for no personal gain.
The only diagnosis in the current system where purposeless, internally motivated deception is listed is axis I factitious disorder. This diagnosis deals with people who lie about having physical or psychological disorders (research must be done to confirm the individual does not in fact have a disorder.
Pathological liars do not feel rejected; they have high levels of self-assurance that help them lie successfully. Unlike those with histrionic personality, pathological liars are more verbally dramatic than sexually flamboyant. Narcissists think they have achieved perfection and are unempathetic to others.

If PL is recognized as a diagnostic entity, researchers would be positioned to examine additional features, etiology, and effective and efficacious treatments. Research may also benefit from exploring clinicians' experiences in treating individuals having PL. Future analyses at the biological level may lead to a deeper understanding of PL. Recognizing PL would equip practitioners to diagnose and treat the condition, thus allowing people to seek treatment. Because PL is not a formally recognized disorder, no systematic studies on the effectiveness of psychotherapy in treating PL have been conducted ( 27 ). The utility of implementing cognitive‐behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapeutic options for treating PL is worth consideration ( 27 ).
Pathological lying, originally called “pseudologia phantastica,” has an established history within clinical practice and literature, although it has not been recognized as a psychological disorder within major nosological systems. With the movement in psychological sciences toward theory‐driven, empirically supported diagnoses, the current study sought to empirically test whether pathological lying aligned with nosological definitions and could be defined as a diagnostic entity.
Although PL is not a formal diagnostic entity, it has been widely discussed by mental health professionals and people who maintain difficulty with lying behaviors. Additionally, our sample included an age range of 18‐60, with an average age of about 22 and many having advanced education.
At a very simplistic level, pathological lying refers to a person that incessantly tells lies. However, Dr. Charles Dike and his colleagues in a 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and Law define it as "falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime, in the absence of definite insanity, feeble-mindedness or epilepsy."
The list of psychological and psychiatric conditions included: (i) Malingering, (ii) Confabulation, (iii) Ganser’s Syndrome, (iv) Factitious Disorder, (v) Borderline Personality Disorder, (vi) Antisocial Personality Disorder, (vii) Histrionic Personality Disorders. Arguably, it is these last three disorders with which pathological lying is most associated with. The following briefly describes the symptoms and context of each of these conditions as outlined by Dr. Dike and his colleagues:
Those working in the mental health system need to pay attention to pathological lying so that they can inform legal practitioners about whether pathological liars should be held responsible for their behaviour. Whether pathological liars are aware of the lies they tell has major implications for forensic psychiatry practice. Dr. Dike says it could help determine how a court deals with pathological liars who provide false testimony while under oath.
Malingering: This is deliberate lying where the person grossly exaggerates or totally lies about physical and/or psychological symptoms. Unlike "archetypal" pathological liars, malingerers are typically motivated to tell lies for a specific purpose such as to obtain financial compensation, to avoid working, to avoid military service, to avoid criminal prosecution, etc.
Confabulation: This is where people tell lies incessantly as a way of covering up memory lapses caused by specific memory loss conditions (e.g., organically derived amnesia). In archetypal pathological liars, the condition is psychological (rather than organic) in origin.
Based on the list above, it is evident that the symptom of pathological lying can occur in some mental disorders (e.g., FD, BPD) and could be called secondary pathological lying. However, it is much less clear whether it can occur independently of a known psychiatric disorder and be seen as primary pathological lying.
There is some consensus that Dr. Anton Delbruck, a German physician, was the first person to describe the concept of pathological lying in 1891 after publishing an account of five of his patients. Despite the long history of research, pathological lying is not included in either the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic ...
Pathological lying is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, although only as a symptom of other disorders such as antisocial, narcissistic, and histrionic personality disorders, not as a stand-alone diagnosis. The ICD-10 disorder Haltlose personality disorder is strongly tied to pathological lying.

The average age of onset is 21 years when the level of intelligence is average or above average. Individuals with the condition tend to have average verbal skills as opposed to performance abilities. Thirty percent of subjects had a chaotic home environment, where a parent or other family member had a mental disturbance. Its occurrence was found by the study to be equal in women and men. Forty percent of cases reported central nervous system abnormality such as e…
