For many years now my fiance has talked about his difficulty in social situations. He frequently misreads body language and thinks everyone in the room is talking about him. He very recently told me that the tv send out vibes that collect information on what you are thinking and relays them by satellite so the tv can in effect talk to you.

he also revealed tonight that he has a magical mind controlling power that no one else in the world has.

his incoherent ramblings are predominantly alcohol fuelled and in the past i have dissmissed them as low self esteem etc. but in the past week (even though still alcohol fuelled) his strange concepts and suspisions have become increasingly bizarre.

I have done alot of surfing around medical sites this evening and i put it to him gently that it may be paranoia of some form.

After a long disscussion which was interspersed with details of government conspiracis and such like he rejected any notion of there being anything wrong at all.

I know that this is a symptom of paranoia to mistrust health professionals and sabotage any course of treatment down to suspicion but i am now not sure how to get him seen by our doctor.

Like I said I am only guuessing at a paranoia type illness just from his rantings. it is 2 days until our local doctorsopens so i cant even go alone to ask for advice until then.

i just feel that when help is there he is going to refuse. did anyone out therefind a way of coaxing someone into treatment without resorting to involuntary sectioning?
