Son struggling with life

Hi there, i am seeking help to guide my son. He is 29 years old. He has struggled with Psychosis for several years, he has tried to seek help with a doctor recently, but it has not lead anywhere. The doctor has tried to get him help with a psychiatrist but so far no one is willing to see him. Several years ago he went to a mental health rehab unit and stayed there for a few months. This was all through trauma, anxiety and taking synthetic cannabis. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has experienced some schizophrenia episodes. He is delusional and believes he is God. He believes that he is here to save people. He talks about saving the world and everyone should believe his way and his beliefs. I don't know how to talk to him and how to help him? Any advise on who to talk to would be greatly appreciated.
