Brief Answer:
seems like Obsessive disorder
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry about your friend's current health status. It seems like he is suffering from a kind of obsessive disorder. The thoughts of delusion and persecution are occurring to him.
This may be XXXXXXX if it continues for long time. I would suggest that he seeks the help of a psychiatrist at the earliest. He needs repeated counselling sessions, and talks about things that make him scared. With several sessions like these, and along with medications, he should be able to recover soon.
Please follow my suggestions to prevent untoward complications in future.
Regards,

He is not ready to XXXXXXX any psychiatrist because it means like he is having mental disorder.I have already suggested him to XXXXXXX
Please suggest me an idea.
Brief Answer:
request for a call
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In such a case, at least request for a call from Counsellor from XXXXXXX portal. A psychiatrist would be able to speak to your friend over the phone itself and try to help him.
You can raise a request for "counsellor call" from your dashboard on XXXXXXX Or write to YYYY@YYYY
Somebody has to talk to your friend to make him understand his condition and to be able to help him.
If he is not willing to seek help, it would be XXXXXXX for him. Please speak to his parents, his close friends or relatives, and get him to see a psychiatrist.
I have tried my best to help your friend.
