How can I help my friend?
He talks to someone that no one can see, prohibits himself from doing things because of this invisible figure, and tries to tell me he exists and wants to give me things. He's otherwise intelligent, but I'm really scared for his mental well-being. This imagined relationship is really hindering his ability to properly perceive the real world. What should I do to help him, and how should I voice my concern to him?
it's interesting to compare these answers with those of the same question in the psychology section.

It depends on what "invisible figure" he is seeing and how logical the possibilities of such a being existing is. Maybe you should determine whether this relationship makes life better for him in the real world and then you can decide what needs to be done to help him.

ok i have been dealing with kind of the same thing that he is going threw for the past 12 years. with me i like to call my spirit a guardian angel, i have seen it and other people have seen it. this spirit has saved my life more then once. if this thing that he is seeing is helping him out protects him and stuff like that then i would say that he has the same thing as me. but if he is usually depressed doesnt want to do anything and wierd stuff usually happens to him or around him then i would say that it is some sort of demon, which i am once again going through right now. i first noticed mine the other day. i noticed that when i am in my house me and my wife are usually depressed, it gets really cold in out house, and stuff will move on its own. what i am doing is a cleansing, if you want him to do that then dont do what most of the stuff on the internet. you need to do a biblical cleansing. usually you can do it yourself, but sometimes a priest does have to come do it. for you what you can do is say a prayer in every room of the house for you and your friend and his family if they live in the house to. then you say the address of the house and start speaking to all evil spirits in the house. make sure that you speak to all and not just one, because even though one may just be showing himself usually there is more. you need to have faith and you need to tell all the spirits to leave the house and to never return make sure you do this in the name of Jesus Christ. now all while you are doing this have someone else start from psalms 1 and to just keep reading untill you have gone through every room in the house repeating what i have just said. now to talk to your friend just go up to him and explain your concern he will most likely listen to you.

If he is happy, intelligent and healthy you should be happy that your friend has such a belief. It could be the reason for the fullness in his life.
