How To Diagnose A Mental Illness?

Hi my name is Zulma and I have a 29 year old son who is talking to him self all the time ,says there are people telling him to do things like taking his close off and where ever he goes people are bothering him and talking to him. He says the neighbor is in his room and telling him things . Four years ago he burn the whole apartment where we were living in and 2 month ago he burn our patio and the neighbors. We live in Arlington t.x. and do not know what to do since he s not a minor but I see he is escalating, saying he is tire of the situation. Please let me know how can I help him specially when he says they are after him.
