welcome to the forums.
If you don't mind sharing what meds is he taking?
He really needs to be on an antipsychotic medication if he is delusional...this will take a bit of time to get into his system but not that long. usually they might start on at a higher dose, this might make him sleepy which is a good thing to help let his mind "stop" and let him recover from the psychosis.
He is in a very critical state right now. I really feel for your family glad that you have help to care for him.
Get as much support as you can, perhaps you can find a local support group, call nami like donna said. or even the hospital or psych unit they should have that info for you.
Are you giving him his meds are they in a locked container? if he is suicidal then these pose a risk to him too.
keep posting and let us know how we can help.
