Suggest Treatment For Paranoid Disorder

My mom has paranoid grandiose schizophrenia. She is insistent that she is fine, physically and mentally. Though, she doesn t believe in mental health. It started in 2002 and progressed like that so far. During that time, I, her son was in college. I am fine, physically and mentally. So, no worries there. Only the serious mental illness of my mom. Do not broadcast or report in news, newspapers, or other media.
