What does it mean when someone thinks someone is trying to kill them ?

Many possibilities: In a war or real-life crime situation, thinking someone is trying to kill you may be a correct assessment of reality. In day-to-day life though, this could mean you're having paranoid thoughts about others- and need psychiatric evaluation. Several psychotic illnesses and drug intoxication/withdrawal states include paranoid symptoms. Treatment depends on cause of the paranoia, and can relieve it.
