Any advice or experience on this?

[Anonymous]

So I have a friend who has paranoid schizophrenia and feels like he’s being gang stalked, how can I help him… advice or experience?

You can't help him with his suspicions and distrust. These are part of his illness and it will be a lifelong problem for him. You can be a friend for him but that won't prevent him from having exacerbations of his illness.

Encourage him to seek professional help for his mental health. You're not a trained professional and this is well beyond what friends can handle.

Take it gentle, take it slow. And don't push - you can't force him. But protect yourself and don't try to take on his struggles as your own.

Best recommendation you can make to him is to seek therapy.

Push him to do some workout which makes him think he is getting strong... maybe any martial arts or calisthenic workout or body building...
A man only act like that when he thinks he is weak and can't win or fight or not confident...

Watch really racist 70s Gand movies with him. Or not, maybe help him seek help.
