Hi,
I understand your concern.
It is caring of you to ask. Delusions of persecution can be challenging, but with the right treatment, usually a combination of medication, therapy, and supportive care, many do improve significantly.
Recovery depends on the cause, early intervention, and consistent support.
You are doing the right thing by being informed and supportive, friends play a big role in healing.
Health Tips
Encourage your friend to seek professional help, stay patient , non-confrontational, avoid arguing about their beliefs, and gently offer consistent emotional support.

The most important part of treatment is medication. I understand you are worried about your friend. With the right treatment your friend will feel better.
Based on what you have mentioned your friend can consult a psychiatrist first and later consult a psychologist for counselling sessions..

Delusion of persecution can be treated effectively, but how much a person recovers depends on the underlying cause, how early treatment starts, and whether they stick with the treatment plan.
With the right combination of medication, therapy (especially CBT or supportive psychotherapy), and ongoing care, many people do improve and regain good functioning. Early support from a psychiatrist and psychologist is key. The sooner they get professional help, the better the outcome.
Encourage your friend to seek help, recovery is absolutely possible with the right guidance and support.
