A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doc: Whether it's a mental illness or psychiatric symptoms of a physical one, is hard to tell unless tapped more into the history of the problem. You would want to suggest to him to see his doctor. If you feel or hear him say something that puts him or his family or other people in danger, you are obligated to report that by calling 9-1-1.
