Answers:
Doesn't sound like bi-polar to me, and I'm bi-polar (and happily medicated). Sounds like he has a temper. If it continues, he definitely needs to see a doctor. There can be a lot of causes. His temperament (personality), food he eats or doesn't eat, not eating often enough and the right food, too much sugar, and just something the requires medication.
This is NOT something a clever answer on this forum will cure. He need professional help.Health Question & Answer

if you think he needs help why wont you seek a proper diagnosis from a doctor.?

it could be a number of conditions or nothing at all, but if it is a condition and you dont get the proper help he could get worse. it could be BPD.? not just bipolar which i dont think it is. there are many disorders which mask each other and only a professional will beable to tell which (if any) he has.

i have a number of conditions including bipolar so i know the implications of late diagnosisHealth Question & Answer

No, that is closer to personality disorder..almost schizophrenic
