Need advice about how to deal wtih a friend who has been diagnosed as having paranoia. [View all]

I very recently rekindled a friendship from high school. Two weeks ago she was diagnosed with paranoia by a pyschiatrist she just started seeing. When she is telling me about her paranoid fantasies, I don't know whether I should simply listen or respond by telling her that she must not give in to paranoia.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
