It's not that we lie. At the time of when we tell you, we believe it to be true, but as our moods can be unpredictable- our answers are sometimes distorted by temporary feelings.
Or, maybe some do intentionally lie a lot. Being emotionally instable makes a person self conscious and so some people may give answers to avoid conflict, or to seek approval. It's dependent on the individual.

Be aware that unless a person has been diagnosed as bipolar by a mental health professional, there are a number of other conditions that can mimic the condition, including several ways of using drugs. Furthermore, if a person is using drugs or alcohol, bipolar disorder cannot be accurately diagnosed until they have been abstinent for a period of time.

∙ 14y agoYou are confusing two disorders. Bipolar disorder is the one where people experience uncontrollable mood swings. Sometimes they feel horrible, sometimes they feel ecstatic. Compulsive lying is a form of psycopathic or antisocial disorder, where the person cannot seem to stop telling lies even though they realize that they are ruining their relationships.
Bipolar people certainly can and do tell lies just as other kinds of people can and do. Sometimes a person will have several different types of mental illness, also. But bipolar is not the same as compulsive lying.
