Can I sue someone for defamation if that person said to another person privately that I have a mental illness that I don't have?
That makes sense. What if the person simply didn't like me and made up the lie about the mental illness to hurt me?
If the person intentionally made a false statement about you with the intent to harm your reputation, then that could be considered defamation per se. You may have stronger grounds for a defamation lawsuit if this is the case.
