Take psychiatrist opinion in his case for better evaluation and diagnosis. If he has bipolar disorder, then he needs mood stabilizer in form of depekote or lithium along with antipsychotic or antidepressant depend upon manic or depressive episode respectively. In case, you need further help you can ask.

Thanks
