Just be real. Don't play the game. That's probably the best you can do. It's usually very difficult to reason with a delusional person because what you are dealing with is not faulty thinking that you can correct like a teacher correcting a student. Delusions are due to a faulty brain that usually requires medication.

Just try to get them to see a doctor regularly and take their meds. Their symptoms should clear up if they do that. Short of that you are just talking to an illness that will run you around in circles accomplishing nothing.
