Is Pathological Living a Symptom of Antisocial Personality Disorder?

Is pathological lying a separate disorder or is it associated with other disorders that have a more formal recognized diagnosis at this point? Well, that's a great question that many times comes with some clinicians. Some of the work though we've done in our lab assessing individuals giving them psychological evaluations, we find that the pathological lying sample don't fit the diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder. And so Chris and I based on our research would agree with Charles DK suggesting pathological lying being the overarching diagnosis and then subtypes and specifiers like factitious disorder or pseudologia.
