Seek help if needed: People can have imaginary friends in childhood which may be a normal part of development. Once an imaginary friend becomes the sole source of social support for a person or attempts to control a person's actions, then further assessment may be needed. If you experience discomfort by disturbing suggestions or hallucinations telling you to harm yourself or others, then you should seek help.
