It's incredibly sad, when it comes down to it, but paranoid schizophrenics really require specialized help and people who are not trained and don't have backup are rarely capable of helping.

^this^ my sister has been in and out of hospital over the last 2 - 3 years, and although not a danger to anyone but herself the family generally struggle to support her as non professionals.

I don't give any fucks about your avatar, so I'm just gonna say, don't engage with that guy, inasmuch as you can help it. He sounds dangerous, and you likely can't help him, so stay away.

What Nigel said.

If you can't help it and decide to "friend" him anyway, whatever you do, don't develop a false sense of security. As long as you are dealing with the guy in any shape or form, you are in red alert territory.

Just my penny's worth - my dad has a long history of manic episodes with overtones of paranoid psychosis.

I agree fully with that. Including the bit that untrained people occasionally help paranoid psychotics. Very rarely, but they do. I would like to respectfully request a derail (or should I start a new thread in this instance?) for discussing how they do it, on those rare occasions.

I really think its hit or miss for non proffessionals, and when its miss, its really really bad, i wouldnt reccomend it to anyone.
