Answers:
I knew someone that had a mental breakdown and his behavior was more of a stroke victim!. Are you familiar with the Beach Boys!? Brian Wilson had a breakdown and has been slower in his motor skills ever since!. I think you are dealing with someone that has high anxiety and needs to deal with stress better or he could be a candidate for having a breakdown!. I sometimes feel erratic in my emotions as well but I have to stop and breath, meditate, anything to slow down my racing mind!. He might be dealing with some emotional damage that he has ignored or doesn't know how to deal with it and it comes out in this erratic manner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
