The 3rd generation medications keep his cycles under control fairly well. Note, prior to being processed by our medical system. These same a--hole sycophantic dealers would target vulnerable people with BS treatments all the time.
Talk with your doctor, get out for a walk every morning, and try out cognitive behavioral therapy when you are ready. =3
A funny post about what not to do:
I have a friend from college who smoked too much marijuana during lockdown back in India. Thankfully the insanity cleared up after a few weeks to a month clean of it, but not all are so lucky.
The denialism and propaganda campaigns bother me. As pro-legalization as I am, I personally have never and will never use drugs. They are dangerous and unnecessary, and I resent those who would influence others' decisions to do something high-risk and potentially very damaging because they want to get high.
I would love to meet one of these people that lose their minds in such a short time on drugs. I know they exist but I just want to see the reality of it.
Very common side-effect for people that try strong hallucinogens and or use malformed neurotransmitters.
The find-out part happens later =3
Having a family member with active untreated disorders can tilt the odds out of ones favor, but those with intellectual gifts also tend to be more resilient to such situations.

Understandable, after a few years people see the same excuses, exploitive scams, and rhetoric. The Sackler family ruined a lot of lives to capture that money, and I guess a few psychopaths saw a business opportunity.
Best of luck =3
But I think you might be missing the forest for the trees: unlike mushrooms, there is a _ton_ of research on pot specifically that illustrates that heavy use in the young is extremely detrimental to their mental health, especially young men. The studies on psilocybin/psilocin do not show this.
That said, Michael Pollan has a quote in one of his books that foes along these lines: coming to psychedelics in old age, when you are set in your ways and everything is locked in, helps you break out and reconsider things, but young people don't have those things, so the value is mostly absent.
Folks with maladaptive coping strategies tend not to age well, and it is unrelated to the specific pharmacological recreational preferences they have chosen.
Some people refuse help, and will despise folks for trying. =3
