I see that you'd want to understand more about the concept of pathological lying. It will be helpful if you connect with a psychologist/counselor who will psychoeducate you. They will also be able to help you identify this within yourself/others. You will receive a safe space within the session to share your thoughts and concerns freely. I hope this helps.

Firstly, visit a psychologist and then a counsellor/therapist, as they will be the best to know what exactly it is and the pattern too. They will be able to not only know but also give you a clear understanding and patterns of that person, also how you could go about dealing with it.
Next Steps

Hi! You mentioned that 'you need to know'. So I understand that it is an issue concerning another person and that you are not the person with pathological lying. Yet, you could consult a psychologist to get the information you need.

whom should you consult for this depend on what you want to do after such understanding. Is it for you or someone else ? Only understanding doesn't provide much solution, most of time we have understanding but still no action or improvement. If you or someone want help regarding this issue ,consult psychologist or if you want just understanding in that case Google it .

Habits like lying are mostly concerning personality traits, behaviours that have been formed due to the childhood living environment etc. A psychologist, I think, is the right person to deal with it in the initial stage. Further courses of action could open up after consulting a psychologist.
