Suggest Remedies For Hallucinations

Not sure if this is a health question... but I am sitting here with a friend of mine now and he was sexually molested as a small child by his uncle... he is now scared of everything, see's things that are not real, feels that people are out to get him, and now tonight he said that people are telling him to hang himself. He even says their are billboards around our house that are telling him to hang himself.... he needs help but I do not know what direction to take.... any suggestions???
