Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You have emotional disability and major depressive disorder. The tendency of telling a lie even when it is not necessary could occur due to some impulsive control disorder. Pathological lying could be the reason for your symptoms. In my opinion you should consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment and evaluation. For depression medicines like SSRIs as Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc can help. These medicines will help to improve your mood and will also reduce the episodes of compulsive lying behaviour. For more severe lying episodes consultation of a psychologist would be beneficial. Please consult a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, I hope this helps you.
Take care
