It sounds like he should be monitoring his sugar, caffeine and alcohol intake. And limiting them. That is always my first step to helping someone level out. If he is fine for periods of time without medication, he might not need it. Regular exercise and a clean diet are definitely the places to start.

This is also an opportunity for you to see what it's like on the other side, and to practice all the love and tolerance you have been shown yourself. Be grateful for the opportunity to give back. 😺
