I know he will just get defensive and claim he's fine, it's everyone else that's nuts!

If you think he won't listen, then get together with several people who know this guy. Have an intervention and have everyone explain what they see going on and that they want him to get help. You have to be willing not to see this guy anymore if he doesn't get help. That's the only way it works. If people around him keep enabling (http://www.abusivelove.com/abuse_terms_1_11.htm) him, he'll continue to think it's the world that is the problem and not him. The best thing you can do for his mental health is to put your foot down. He may be mad at you, and that's OK. You're trying to help, but if he refuses help, then you shouldn't be hanging around him. People are not experiments or projects. If you can't get along with him the way he is and he refuses to get help, the worst thing you can do is to continue seeing him.

If you believe your fine , that your mental health is fine , then do this guy a favor , tell him that he has you thinking he may be mentaly off .. if he does tell you he is fine , and you don't think he is , evaluate your relationship with him ,, if he has a pivital role in your life and you feel that your future will be adversely affected by his short coming ,, then interfear ,, but if you can live your life with out ratteling his cage ,, why would you , it's his problem ,, give him the opertunity to come to this conclusion on his own , It's his life your thinking of messing with ,, and he aparently thinks he doesn't need you interfearance, {{{ walk away }}}

wow that's a toughy. Unless they can see their destructive behavior, they are not likely to change.They need your help to be their advocate and act as a liaison between his Dr and mental health.Explain the situation,or better yet write a letter to his Dr explaining your concern, Because he can not discuss his case with you,at least you can give him an idea of what goes on.Keep a journal of his behavior,and include any drug or alcohol abuse. Then the Dr maybe able to help him.But keep in mind that some people will refuse all treatment because of their delusions.

Try to bring him around others like him. The person knows that he need help. He is just ashamed of being helped in that specific way. So the best would be to love him, support him. Talk to the person about the way society and the people who needs help are viewed. Try to make him realize what is best for him.
LOVE is the key to all your problems

You don't.
You don't say who this person is (that is, what relationship to you), or why YOU THINK he needs help, so it's not at all clear to me that he DOES need help, or that you are in any position to try to tell him so.
I'd say leave him alone.
Do you like people telling you there's something wrong with you, and what you should do about it?

It depends, if you think its serious maybe you could have a group intervention?
