Muslim husband is being spiritually attacked?

Question

Me and my husband these last few years have been having our struggles in our relationship long story short out of no where he has started having manic episodes my husband is Muslim and very well educated on the religion over the years he has fallen short by not praying and also started drinking alcohol well this weekend he had a episode where he went to the cemetery where his grandparents are buried with a gun he was threatening to take his life we have a new baby two months old and when he sent me that text about what he was about to do I just started praying and called on some of our Muslim friends and they went out to look for him. The next day was weird he wouldn’t talk to me and he just looked weird so eventually later on that day he opened up to me and told me he hears voices and sees things and the voices tells him to do bad things he said they tell him to hate me and also at one point told him to kill me me and him have been on and off again since the age of 15 years old and I know this isn’t him, he said he’s been trying to suppress and hide this side of himself from me but now he can’t take it anymore and wants help I’m new to this religion and just need to know who I can reach out to to help pray for him and release from him this jinn that has taken control of his mind for our own safety until we figure this out he’s going to get his own place he says he’s being hearing voices and seeing things since the age of 14 and he told his family but no one took it seriously also newborn cry’s a lot at home but when he’s out at someone else’s house he almost never cry’s he laughs and plays and fall asleep so I’m thinking whatever it is is in this house as well so I’m calling out to all Muslims who are well versed in the religion to give me advice how to move forward from here.

Look, I'm not religious but I'm absolutely sure it's not jinn or shitan or spirits or whatever paranormal activity stuff you hear.
The man has mental problems and needs therapy. Take him to a good therapist to help him and diagnose him, make him take some meds, you'll see him heal with certainty this way.
Don't believe those exorcists and people claiming they can free him, they are scam who want your money. They aren't prophets as far as I know.
Pray for him, reassure him, and take him to therapy.
He is suicidal and needs help as soon as possible or you'll be losing a husband and a father. Remind him of the good things he has like his family, his child, to convince him to seek therapy.
Take my word, therapy will do him good if you don't want to lose him. Don't let him destroy himself and you and your child's life by insisting he doesn't need it.
There is no shame in getting help, it's taking care of the body, the mind, the heart, and the soul.
Best of luck, I hope things turn for the best for you three.

You have two choices - Real help or placebo help.

Placebo help is prayer and asking the people who believe the same stuff you do to be concerned with djinns and whatever other imaginary nonsense is contributing to your husbands condition. If prayer was going to help you, it would have done so. It has not.

Real help involves talking to medical and psychiatric professionals. It may mean medication or seeing a therapist.
This is the only route of the two available options that will actually have the potential to improve his wellbeing.

Lotta people deal with mental health issues. I'd suggest you encourage him to talk to a doctor or therapist. A low dose medication could be all he needs to make a massive difference.

Nothing wrong with prayer/meditation but talking to the clouds is not a good bet for the type of struggles he's shared with you.

To be honest, it sounds more like a psychotic episode he's having rather than a spiritual one.

Take him to a doctor first and foremost, an alim second.

He isn’t being spiritually attacked. He has schizophrenia, and needs medication.

It sounds more like he suffers from schizophrenia. Attempting to pray away a fictional "jinn" is a waste of time and energy.
