What's wrong with him? We're so Scared!?

My cousin is really sick. He is losing a lot of weight. He has terrible mood swings. He has two groups of friends, the nice ones he knows from high school baseball and then the bad kids. His good friends are just as worried as his family. He is becoming violent. One night him and his friends were hanging out and he just started to punch himself HARD. So hard he left bruises. He's even been seeing hallucinations, though rarely. He also is compulsively lying, no one can ever say when he's telling the truth or a lie. His parents have taken him to a doctor, but seeing as he's 19, the doctor can't tell them ANYTHING. His parents had him take a drug test and it came up negative but there was a type of film over the sample. I'm not sure what drugs the drug test was for. His eyes AREN'T blood shot and his pupils aren't dialated. He has a very addictive personality. Could this be drugs or a mental illness? My aunt thinks it may be Borderline Personality disorder. Please help ANYONE!!

Answer:
It could be borderline or Bi-Polar disorder. Whatever it is, I think you should take your cousin to a psychiatrist so that they can figure out and possibly deal with what is wrong with him, asap; it doesn't sound like drugs to me, it soungs like a serious mental issue. My Rx is to get him to a psychologist as soon as you can, so you can figure out what is wrong with him and go from there.
He might have a personality disorder. Some disorders show up later in life at around age 20. You might want to bring him to a psychiatrist or something.
It also could be hepatic encephalopathy (HE). HE can cause the symptoms you are describing. He should do a liver function test and ammonia test (blood tests) to see if HE is the problem
It could be either one but it sounds like he really needs help and needs it now. I hope everything turns out ok for him. Good Luck..
try therapy but ask him first because he might not want to talk to them. if he is made to go and doesn't talk to them they can put him in one of the isolated cushion rooms for anti-social issues. they tried doing it to because i refused to talk to the therapists. lot of my family as some kind of therapy.
He's taking drugs for sure!!
i would guess he is on drugs.
He is an alien. tell him to go back to planet Ork.
