Do People W/bpd Lie a Lot? Posted: 10-13-07 15:52pm
I was just wondering if anyone knows if it
is a trait for people w/ bipolar disorder
to lie a lot? Can anyone speak from
experience?

My husband is bipolar & he's one of
the most honest people I've ever met. I
don't know that lying is a bipolar issue,
per se.

thats a IF'y question. depends on the
person. i dont have any major problems
with lying and i have bpd. lying is just
something someone does. i dont really
think its LINKED to bpd. usually people
lie to avoid conflict, embarassment, or
they just feel like they need to impress
someone. if its constant, saying its
hurtful... you or someone else could
probably coach them into telling the
truth.

Bpd Is Shorthand For Borderline Personality Disorder... Posted: 11-02-07 06:44am
Let's be clear here, people, ok? Often we
will shorten Bipolar to BP I or BP II.
But BPD is always Borderline Personality
Disorder, which is on a different AXIS of
diagnosis on the DSM IV which is used to
diagnose mental disorders.
Meaning they are very different. And,
coincidentally, BPD people DO have a
reputation for lying, most bipolar people
are jsut like everyone else--soem do, some
don't.
