Thanks for all of your help. I am leaning towards thinking that it's more mania. He could very well be on speed but he's always been talking a mile a minute but now it's just more so but to the extreme. Speed or not, he needs serious help. And if he is taking speed, he needs to solve his problems as to why he's taking it in the first place. But I believe it's mania or a manic disorder. What exact classification would this be, manic depression? As to the solution, I have emailed all of my friends and we are determining what to do. Our friend Joe refuses help so we are thinking we need to tell his parents. His parents have accused him of being on drugs but they do not know the full extent of his behavior. For instance, his mom wants to set up a stress test. Obviously stress is the least of his problems now. It contributes to his behavior but the stress just adds fuel to the fire. Thanks for your help.
