Is there a medication to help pathological liars?
"No, people who lie do it on purpose, and sometimes they lie for so many years when they are telling a story that is not true they may think it is because lying has become such a part of life they can't tell they are doing it anymore. The only cure is the person changing the bad habit." That's rather inaccurate. The term pathological lying essentially translates to uncontrollable lying. This can mean that a person who is suspected of pathological lying is considered to have a disease, and therefore cannot control the lying. However, psychologists and psychiatrists fail to account for a specific definition of pathological lying as a disease. It can be symptomatic of other conditions, like antisocial personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is not always present in these conditions, so a clear treatment set for pathological lying has not been defined. Many people who exhibit pathological lying also clearly exhibit symptoms of other treatable conditions. Conditions like ADHD and OCD are treatable through medication, though different ones. This makes accurately diagnosing underlying conditions important. The last thing one would want to give a person with OCD is a stimulant like Ritalin, which would likely exacerbate their disorder. Personality disorders that contribute to pathological lying may also respond to a combined treatment of psychiatric medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. The goal with pathological lying must in the end be to treat any evidence of illness or conditions that may influence the lying. This may include medications and the use of behavioral therapy to help the person overcome compulsive lying.

Define pathological lier?
A pathological liar is usually defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. Pathological lying is often viewed as a coping mechanism developed in early childhood and it is often associated with some other type of mental health disorder, such as antisocial personality disorder or sociopathy. A pathological liar is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused - it is done to get one's way). Pathological liars have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. They often come across as being manipulative, cunning and self-centered. Nonetheless, if combined with sociopathic tendencies, they can be charming and superficially extremely likable people. Perfect con artists.
After reading this you believe your sister is a textbook pathological liar because EVERY characteristic listed she has so what is the best way to help them see their problem and get help?
First of all, it is almost impossible to influence family members to get help for their problems. It is too easy for them to deflect your comments back in your direction. This is true of even everyday advice, and the more serious the issue the less likely you are to be able to effect change. Pathological lying is 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.1 It is different from other forms of lying, in that the lie seems to be the reason in itself, rather than an attempt to deceive. Often the person believes all or part of the lie himself. Pathological lying should not be confused with lying for a purpose: to get one's own way, avoid repurcussions, manipulate, etc. These may occur often, but they are not pathological lying. At present there is no legal definition, and no treatment that is known to be effective. ____________________ 1Charles C. Dike, MD, MRCPsych, MPH, et al.. "Pathological Lying Revisited".

Will someone who is a pathological liar lie to everyone and do they ever stop lying?
That is a question which has been kicked around for eons. If a person is truly pathological they are unable to tell the difference between lies and truth. Most liars choose lies simply because they are easier than the truth. Changing a liar into a truthful person is impossible until you can make them understand that lying is more work, less profitable, and usually useless from the onset. Regrettably, I've yet to find a liar that could be reformed. One either is, or is not a truthful person. If one is, by habit a liar, it is unlikely they will ever change. Ditto for the truthful person. They don't see the up side of lying and never developed the technique of lying, so they aren't very good at it. I think there are times when lying is less work, more profitable and useful . " The check is in the mail. Those pants don't make you look fat. It's company policy.

How do you stop a pathological parental from lying and then turns around and calls his 9 year old daughter a liar instead when you know the parent is the liar.?
You can't help a pathological patient like that. You simply just can't up and do it. This needs to be handled by doctors,professionals. Not someone such as yourself. Ask for help,some sort-of profession help (ex. phsycologist.) And if it's nessacary,and no one can get to him,he will be given medication. Simple as that.
