Surprising effects of telling lies on our mental health
Nuzhat Parveen
Abstract:
In this article the author calls attention to the general neglect of lying as a topic for psychiatric research and marks the systematic attempt to understand the role plays in normal everyday life as well as in specific psychiatric problems. While recognizing that lying is a universal lubricant of social life, it is necessary to determine when it becomes destructive and just which kinds of mental problems it can typify.
