Hello, welcome to lybrate., from the above account of yours regarding your friend, it seems like he might be harbouring a psychotic illness. Talking to one self, seeing things not seen by others are suggestive that he might be having hallucinations. Most common causes for psychosis at this age group are: schizophrenia, seizure disorder, substance use disorder. It would be better that get him evaluated by a psychiatrist as soon as possible and start with the treatment, in order to get an early recovery and to prevent long term morbidity and mortality which is quite high in non-treated cases. If you can to know more, want to seek a private consultation for your friend and want to begin the management as well, you can consult.
