My sister mgiht be mentally ill?

My sister is a pathological liar-she lies constantly-she lies about lying-she is a stripper and doesnt see anything wrong with that- in my opinion that is not knowing right from wrong-is in a self-destructive relationship and once again does not see anything wrong with that- she has had two abortions and two miscarriages within the last year and a half and see it as no big deal. my late grandma was psychizophrenic- does anyone think she might be- i am more inclined to believe that she has a personality disorder-like borderline personality- she has all of its required symptoms except for the cutting
any advice?

I have lived with a spouse for 16 years that in my estimation had characteristics of 3 out of the 4 "Cluster B" personality disorders. These include Narcissistic, Borderline, and Anti-Social personality disorder. I can certainly empathize with you as these people are extremely difficult to get along with and from everything I've read...the prognosis is likely to be poor at best. These people truly believe there isn't anything wrong with them and everyone else is to blame even when it is clearly the result of them that cause disruption. By the way, pathological lying is a characteristic of all 4 of the "Cluster B" personality disorders. As a result of your sister's sexual behavior I might recommend you read up on the one "Cluster B" disorder I did not mention...that is Histrionic Personality Disorder. An additional problem that seems to commonly occur with people with "Cluster B" disorders is, if they have one of the mentioned disorders, they probably have 2 or more of the disorders as well.

Good luck to you. My heart goes out to you.

Yeah, she's mentally ill.

While cutting is a symptom, it is not required. She sounds like she does have many issues...the most important one is not caring about herself, and not being able to see anything from anyone else's point of view. People can and do change and I would recommend trying to get her into "family" counseling...that way it is not focused on her, and maybe you can lead the topics to her problems.

I think so, try to seek help for her.

be there for her get her help ASAP

Tranquilize her and get her to therapy.!

look up factitious, this is wen some 1 that lies so much actually belive themselves that it is true

Well, I'm not a pathological liar, but I had three abortions because my sorry first husband wouldn't take care of the two we already had. After our divorce my day job didn't make ends meet so I became an exotic dancer and an escort to give my kids the things they wanted. I met my second hubby in the bar and it was his first time in a strip club and we had a five year relationship. I went on to become a drug dealer and my relationship failed because he couldn't deal with my lifestyle. I'm awaiting trial for trafficking and possession, and my kids are almost grown. I wouldn't have traded a moment of my life for anyone else's life because the experience has been REAL! I don't see that I have a mental problem because of my choices. Perhaps, you are the one with the problem, not your sister. She may be happy with her life and the way it's panning out. Mind your own business and lead your own life and stop minding hers. Sweep around your own front porch before you try to sweep around everyone else's!

well even if she isnt exactly psychizophrenic. there is something wrong with her doesnt she realize what she is doing to herself that is not good at all and believe me u r not alone in this. u should consider getting her help and fast before she does something that could hurt her for the rest of her life

but remember u cant help her if she doesnt want to help herself so tie her down and explain the situation to her.

It's sounds like she has a lot of issues. She may have more than one mental disorder. It's common for people who have been diagnosed with one disorder to have one or more comorbid disorders. She may have borderline personality disorder, and she may also have antisocial personality disorder. The only way you can know for sure is if she is seen by a qualified diagnostician.
