I need to research the condition where a person alone at home sometimes
feels frightened and helpless because he senses that someone is there in
his immediate presence. If a family member arrives home and enters the
subject's room, the subject frequently looks behind the other person to see
whether this imagined being is standing there.

The subject is presently in his teens, but has had occasional episodes of
severe fright related to these feelings since infancy.

What is this condition called? What terms should I search on for info?- Hide quoted text -

I can you answer you. Even if a doctor has 'seen this sort of thing
before' and can put a name to it, you can't seriously believe that
there will be any knowledge of it, accept in the sense that something
has gone wrong with the brain. Why don't you admit that you want to
offload a problem by medicalising it?

Ok, George,
Maybe the family member 'Startled' him.
Maybe the 'severe fright' you witnessed when he was an infant was a
'startle reflex' and you began reinforcing the reflex, and seem to be
doing the same thing at this later date.

Maybe the subject feels like you are invading 'their' rights to privacy.

Or:
Maybe there are histrionic persons who insist that Pandemics are
imminent.
Or:
Maybe there are 'histrionic' persons who search for information on the
community where he resides and then let it be known that the area is
well known for it's methamphetamine use, ergo, as the histrionic
personalities are not in the same room, where they can 'lightly cuff'
the subject to themselves, they 'must take charge' and move the person
to another area. [What is wrong with that thinking, for one thing they
are not seeing that the subject has set their own boundaries about their
drug usage, and so that must be one of their own problems, as that is
'what they [histrionic] would do, if they lived in the area'].
OR: Maybe the histrionic person, is 'avoiding' their own issues about
drug usage, and so, they feel the need to divert the attention off of
themselves and onto the families designated 'problem child'.
OR: Maybe the subject has been so 'beat down' by the families fear
mongering.
OR: Maybe the histrionic persons are projecting.

That's what first came to my mind... and, that's called Hyperflexia.

I didn't suggest it because, to the best of my knowledge, premonitions
aren't a feature of hyperflexia.

It isn't premonitions, unless you are psychic.
Try paranoid delusions.
My point is that the hyperflexia may have inadvertently been reinforced
by primary caregivers which set up a pattern that exists today.
My other point is that methamphetamines, bi-polar disorder with mixed
moods and rapid cycling, along with alcohol can and will cause some of
these paranoid delusions. Some friends may be telling the person their
own paranoid delusions and the other persons judgment is so clouded by a
combination of the above the paranoid delusion becomes real in the
persons mind. If the friend has also used drugs or is still using drugs
that kind of fear mongering needs to be cut off, no matter how many
years they have been friends.
Take away the methamphetamines [ which were never a part of the original
dx. for some reason, probably fear on the part of the client to tell the
truth] and that bipolar disorder with mixed moods and rapid cycling may
be
be downgraded from severe or moderate to mild or hopefully nil.

Personally I have cut off many of my friends from when I was married
because their own lives became complicated due to their drug usage. One
was an RN who has allowed the stuff to ruin her entire life.
She lost her RN license, and finally ended up with an arrest record for
robbery.
Her boyfriend was the one I met first, he and I had been friends since i
was 19 years old, but when this stuff becomes a part of my regular life
I am apt to 'avoid' these people like the plague.
He really allowed the drugs to screw his life up too and as I have known
him for so many years, it's like watching a friend die and disintegrate
before your eyes.

"offload a problem"?!?  Maybe the reason why 'George' wants to
medicalize a problem that is _'His'_ problem, not the 'subjects'.  The
problem is that George wants to control something that he has no control
over, so he creates a problem which then balloons into a greater
problem. But wait, the problem is George's problem, and George's need to
blow things out of proportion.
George may also believe that a few other things about the 'subject' and
doesn't want to 'accept' that the 'subject' is their 'own person', not
an extension of himself.  The 'subject' is an individual.
