If he is paranoid then you don't need to tell him anything. he will just see you as part of the problem. the fact that he has psychotic features can make him very dangerous. If he has actually been seen by a mental health professional and received the above stated diagnosis and is being uncooperative or medication non-compliant then you need to contact that mental health professional right away. If you agitate a paranoid person and he reaches an acutely psychotic state you have a serious problem on your hands. If he is not taking his meds contact a mental health professional.How to tell my spouse he is suffering from paranoid personality disorder with psychotic features.?
if what you say is true, then your spouse is either in dinial or he is one difficult person to have to deal with. push the issue, take movies and recordings, and then give him an intervention, if the intervention dont work then give him an ultimatum.
Is that his diagnosis or do you just think that's what he is suffereing from? If it is what his doctors say, you probably can't be the one to slap him with the truth. I went through a similar thing with my husband but he was in your place. I was really sick and depressed after my baby was born but when he pointed things out or asked me to go with him to get help I would lash out at him and defend myself. You are supposed to be your husbands partner and teamate. If he is uncomfortable admitting he needs help, any contradiction of this that comes out of your mouth he is going to view as an attack on him, from someone who is supposed to be routeing for him and standing by him as an equal. You will be heard as over-riding his decision and trying to pull rank, pulling out of the team posistion and trying to be coach. My mom had to be the one to get through to me. She has always been someone that I've seen as higher up than me or in charge of me, someone I respect and listen to and try to emulate. Like a mentor. If you could find someone like this in your husbands life, an old friend he respects, a parent or aunt or uncle, and they felt the same way you do, you could ask their help to talk to your husband. If there is no one like that for him in his life then you need to find a doctor or someone he will feel is an athority on the subject and hopefully he will listen more easily than if you said it. It might still not be all sunshine and lolly pops but it would help him continue to turn to you and see you as his teammate through all of this. He'll be able to look to you for comfort and understanding instead of someone constantly against what he feels. Even if you want to tell him to feel something different or that he needs to clue in and change his attitude don't say it. It will cause damamge to a relationship that really needs to stay intact for him to recovery. You being right there by his side will get him to come around to your way of thinking faster than anything. Just validate everything that is applicable. ';I know you feel like you are fine. I love you no matter what you feel like or say. I'm with you forever. I know when doctors express concern that you don't feel it's warranted. I would have a hard time accepting anything was wrong with me if I didn't feel it. If something still was and I didn't notice but you did, I would want you to quietly tell me what you thought. Then we could sit down and decide together what was really happening. I don't want you to go through anything if you don't have to. Let's just see what this doctor says and maybe you might notice something. What doctor do YOU want to see and maybe we can start from there. Can we just compromise and see 1 doctor and you can pick and answer only the questions you want to. etc.'; The more he feels you are on his side the more he will listen to you and trust you. Because really you are on his side, he just has to feel it.
Sometimes the ones closest to him can't be heard. Try calling his family doctor and explaining your concern, see if he will go for a check-up and let the doctor delve further into it for you. Beware of the drugs they will want to put him on however, sometimes they can be worse for the body than the original problem. A check-up in in order however.

Good Luck:)
if you are not a mental health specialist, there is no reason why he should listen to you.
