Tips on How to Talk to My Paranoid Delusional Son?

I try to reassure my son if he thinks something bad is going to happen.

If it’s other kinds of delusions, I just kind of go with it without outright agreeing to it for the most part.

If he’s really, really sick and feels an urgency to talk about his delusions, I just kind of listen and say as little as possible. I don’t engage him in conversation then unless he makes the first move to talk.

Someone else today had awesome advice - I’ll see if I can find it & give you the link.

Hatty’s post on this thread was so good - I think it’s post 10.
