How can you tell the difference between reality and delusions?

How can you tell the difference between reality and delusions?
This is a very interesting question, thanks to someone else chatting with me whose name I won't disclose in the best interests of everyone's safety and anonymity.

For someone who's delusional, how to tell the difference and find reality?

What sorts of thinking do you do? What kind of research do you do? What kind of experiments and experiences do you try out to verify if something is real or not?

I don't know good ways to it but I guess, one should identify the sources of delusions, get to the root of it and evaluate.

Existentialistically speaking, one may evaluate if delusions are practical, positive or not... and whether to live with it or change it.
