My friend has paranoid Schizophrenia and would like some help on how to help her?

she is very wary of her husband and is thinking everybody is against her,and she comes out with some really weird things when she's talking to you i've known her for ages and really want to help her

With the issue of schizophrenia the most helpful of things I have come to find in all my research is the writings of a woman called Anne Deveson, she is a film maker in Australia and did a lot of political documentation work in the 80's her son had schizophrenia and committed suicide and she was asked to write a book about the illness but instead she decided to write a book called "tell me I'm here" about his life (this book is how I found out about her and that book was the only thing in all my research that I found helped me) this is a quote from an interview with her:
"It took me quite a while to learn that the most
important thing I could give Jonathan was just to be there. So that in the beginning I was
nervous. I was always trying to fix him up. I didn't have the information about
schizophrenia, so I would be trying to say: did you take your medication?
Have you had a shower? Goodness your clothes are filthy, take them off.
Where have you been sleeping? You know, when are you coming home?
And I realised actually it took me about a few months before I realised that what was
happening then was that all our conversation was focused around his illness. And people's
illness is only a part of their lives. And what was much more important was to acknowledge
him as a person, and to be there as a mother and as a friend, rather than somebody who was
trying to fix up his illness."
So be there for her and teach her husband too but also she needs to take her medication without it she won't get better and once she feels better when she is on it do not let her go off it, if she does it will all happen again maybe try grinding it up into her food (don't let her see this of course) but it is very important she takes it

Send her to a doctor, genius.
im not schizophrenic. yes you are! hey shut up
She really needs to be seen by a psychiatrist to be evaluated for the proper medication that she needs to help her. Followed by a therapist.
Dont diminish her concerns, what may seem ridiculous to you is absolutely real to her. Identify and provide reality checks. Dont push her too hard tho. When shes talkin really weird stuff listen to her and try to relate with a more reality based response. Point out things to her that are good. Offer lots of reassurance and get her involved in good activities. Also, I dunno if shes takin meds but there are some great ones out there as well as services, check your phone book for your local mental health services. They can offer programs and advice to family and friends dealing with schizophrenia

how do you know this, has she been diagnosed by a professional or are you just guessing, there are lots of things that could be wrong, maybe she knows something about her husband that you don't and she could be upset or depressed or maybe she is what you say, get her to get real help if your a real friend
