Does having manic depressive disorder or bo-polar cause someone to lie?
I know someone who has recently been diagnosed with what they call manic bi-polar but I can not find information using that wording. I was wondering if anyone knows if having that causes someone to lie when they have rapid mood swings. This person has been caught lying a lot and I was just wondering if it was truly associated or if that person just lies. If anyone has any links I can follow I would greatly appreciate it. I have heard that a person with this can have hallucinations.

The following site has a great deal of information on manic depression: Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance: Improving the Lives of People Living with Mood Disorders The condition was once known as Manic Depression but in 1980 was re-named to Bipolar Disorder* Hallucinations are not uncommon. Would have to know more about the lying. Not a per se symptom. *DSM-III, DSM-IV |

One of the problems with Bipolar, is that the person is often excluded a great deal due to difficulties in social situations. So they sometimes can turn to lies to get the attention and acceptance that they desire.
But this is true for ANYONE, bipolar or not. Some people lie. The diagnosis of Bipolar makes no difference |

Prevarication... (kind of a softer word for lie) "Love your hair-do", "What a beautiful child", "I'll never tell another soul". Normal or symptomatic of underlying mental disorder? Maybe it has to do with how much you lie or the extent and degree of the un-truth or a combination thereof. It seems safe to assume it is not exclusive to bi-polar disorder, as jennie indicates it is "true for anyone." |
