Going to repeat my comment and your response from the other thread:

While everything else could be mid quarter crisis, this sounds manic. Either bipolar mania or substance abuse. Reminds me of a med school classmate who had a manic episode and marched into the Deans office and demanded they give him his diploma because he already knew everything.
Is there a history of any mental illness in his family? Any signs he might be abusing stimulants like meth or cocaine?“
That's a crazy story. I think it's very unlikely there's any substance abuse. No family history of mental illness, but definitely a lot of dysfunction.
