Suggest Treatment For Extreme Delusions And Irrational Behaviour

what kind of treatment can you suggest for a person , ~40 years old . who has no job and who lives alone with 2 dogs and believes that hacking into another person s computer is the source of his actions. for example if the person s computer he is hacked into, looks up real estate in say East Hampton NY .... the hacker sees the information and drive to the realestate from his home 2 hour away and then sits in the home or the realtor s office and says nothing . when his relative ( his Aunt) rescue s him he says that he is in COURT so what kind of illness is this .... its a delusion that he has a job, an assignment that requires him to hack into a 65 year old woman s computer and that computer dictates his life choices and his actions
