What kind of treatment you get if you think some people are aliens?

I have obsessive thoughts about that. Sometimes I can also "see" that they look like aliens. Should I go to GP and ask medicines or therapy?

Do you actually think they are aliens or are you aware that you are having the thought they are aliens? Does the thought come from your head or seem external?

Definitely talk to GP but you just need to be clear about whether you believe at that time they ARE aliens or are horrified by the thought that you are thinking/visualising them as aliens.

-I don't know which one is true. Some possibly are, some maybe. I am not sure.

Does the thought come from your head or seem external?
-They do send "reminders" but I think it is me thinking of them, I guess.

I think you should probably see a GP as a matter of urgency to get treatment as this is a horrible experience to be having and it sounds you are right now on the tipping point of where you know what's real and what's not. Early intervention so crucial. Have you ever had another experience like this?

I would definitely see your GP, don't worry or feel embarrassed about what you are experiencing it is best to get an assessment for possible treatment as soon as possible.
Best of luck x
