It would be nice if there were! The only treatment for pathological lying is therapy. Unfortunately, most pathological liars are not interested in being cured. They do not think there is anything wrong with them.

What is the technical name for habitual liar?
In medical terminology, one would call that "pathological". Pathology is a general term meaning a disease process. Someone who lies frequently without any reason would be called a pathological liar. For instance, if your boss asked you what time you arrived at work and your work time started at 8:00 a.m. and you knew you were late and said 8:00 anyway, that would not be pathological. In this case, you lied to protect yourself from being reprimanded, fired, etc. Pathological liars just lie, even when there is no good reason to do so; i.e., nothing to gain and nothing to lose. This is due to some type of deeper psychological problem. RG
What do you do if your husband is pathological liar and you really love with him and don't want to leave him?

If you had any respect for yourself, you'd grow a backbone and tell him your marriage is over unless he gets psychological help.
Can a pathological liar pass a polygraph test?
It is possible for a pathological liar to pass a polygraph test. Polygraph tests measure physiological responses like heart rate and breathing, which can be affected by anxiety or stress.

In the meantime, don't enter into any legal arrangements of any kind, loan any money, or otherwise become more entangled.

How can you tell someone is a pathological liar?
AnswerA pathological liar is someone who often embellishes his or her stories in a way that he or she believes will impress people. Some think a pathological liar is different from a normal liar in that a pathological liar believes the lie he or she is telling to be true �at least in public� and is "playing" the role. It is not clear, however, that this is the case, and others hold that pathological liars know precisely what they are doing. Making up stories and at the same time believing them is known as confabulation. The term "pathological liar" is not an official clinical diagnosis however most psychiatrists agree that pathological lying is often the result of a mental disorder or low self-esteem. Pathological lying is often used in acting, since the actor or thespian must "lie" convincingly in order to make a great performance, whether it's in a play or in a movie. Quite often, most pathological liars may be actors, as in My Big Fat Obnoxious Fianc�e. Consequently, whether pathological lying is a mental disease is highly disputed. Pahtelogical liars usually turn to lying as a final resort like there is no other way to turn. Commonly pathelogic liars can make up the most obnoxious and silly lies that when someone approaches them about the lie they deny ever telling it. They may tell to different people the same story but add different lies to both, and sometimes when pathelogical liars get caught in a lying scheme they turn to more lies to dig out of the hole.
