GAD+ PTSD + pyscosis episode help
I've been with my partner for about 6 months on and off, he has already been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder that he does not take medications for and due to a violent relationship in the past was recently diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Over the past 2 months he has been experiencing an extremely real delusion that has progressively gotten worse in the past 2 weeks and now has become suicidal.
I have am a qualified nurse with a mental health first aid certificate, I know these delusions are very real to him and I'm being very careful to get him the help he needs. I am just getting overwhelmed with how far his delusions are getting.
His delusions are as follows:
His snapchat was hacked and multiples of fake people were added in order to gather information from him or try implicate him in something illegal. That these same people hacked his Facebook account and email account, they are using the information gathered from there to mock/humiliate/blackmail/ or cause him to commit suicide. That these people could be a pr team for a famous Australian sportsman. That they were "managing him" between a number of people. Now they have changed his Google search, friends and images that contain things about him including his name in all the images or personal information about him. Lastly the media have a hold of this and all the tv shows, newspaper articles, newspaper cartoons and horoscopes are somehow related to him and mocking him. He even believed that my son had been messaged by an outside source to spy on him. He has a real fear for his life.
So far my I have managed to persuade him to delete FB, snapchat. his family and I have been trying urgently to get him into a psychocologist which has been taking a lot of time. I am with him as often as I can be and when I'm not there his family is with him. I also persuaded him to seek a dr tomorrow in hopes of speeding up the process with getting him into a psychologist asap
I know we have done everything we possibly can but I am still very concerned for his well being as his mental health continues to rapidly decline
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated
