hi dear,
what ever you describe about him suggest that he might have bipolar mood disorder and it may be due to the substance which he took or it may have individual entity.
for proper diagnosis we need detail history and mental status examination of him.
you need to consult psychiatrist.
there are many medication which controls his behavior and symptoms also like mood stabilizer sodium valproate, lithium, carbamazepin, etc also anti psychotic medication like olanzepin helpful.
Thank you
