What Causes The Paranoid Feeling Of People Watching?

This may sound stupid. All of it. Including my age, I'm 14. I don't want to tell anyone because they will laugh. I think there are cameras in my house watching me. I think the cameras on my laptop and phone are also being hacked into and people are watching me. I think people can read my mind. Now I think people are invisible and are watchig me! Also I think everyone is staring at me, talking about me and laughing at me. Am I just seriously paranoid???

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I appreciate your concerns and asking on health care magic. I would suggest you that the symptoms that you have mentioned indicate that you are undergoing psychiatric illness and there is no shame to get professional help. Many people undergo such feelings and recover by treatment. Feeling that people are watching you through cameras and people are staring and laughing at you are ideas/ delusions of self reference. I would suggest you to seek a psychiatrist. I hope you find this helpful.
