Full question:
I have this problem. There are two individuals who psychologically and repeatedly use a trick to drive me crazy. Both of the individuals do not know each other but some how do this to me. One of the individuals was a friend of my dads and they worked together. While he was at my house he got angry at me and said he was going to put it in my ear. I now suffer from this. This is something psychological and I have seen psychiatrists about this matter, but they dont help me. What is the legal information about this situation?

Answer:
Intentional infliction of emotional distress is a legal claim for intentional actions that cause mental suffering, such as anguish or fright. To pursue this claim, you need to prove that the conduct was intended to cause harm. Since the individuals involved do not know each other and the means of causing harm are unclear, proving intent may be very difficult.
While your fear is real, the source of that fear may differ significantly from how it is perceived. What you describe seems more like a psychological issue rather than a legal one. I strongly recommend seeking further assistance and being persistent in finding a mental health professional who can help you. If your fear stems from delusions, it might be treatable with medication or counseling. Not addressing it could lead to serious consequences, including the possibility of involuntary commitment.
