Sound like bi-polar???

If he is violent, you need to move out now.
It's hard to know if he has bipolar from this.
Keep in mind that some people could have combinations of various things like bipolar/personality disorder/ severe depression /brain disorder, . . ..
Lots of people diagnosed bipolar do not have ups and downs -- with or without medication.
He seems agitated. Is he anxious?
Those tantrums can be medicated and dealt with in talk therapy.
