Whats wrong with him is it drugs or is it just legitimate mental problems ??

Honestly, it's hard to say. College and grad student age is the prime time for legit mental health disorders to strike. That time frame goes longer but there's a huge spike in the college years. Also, drugs can in some cases can trigger and/or speed along the process for those already susceptible mental illness while in many others drug problems mimic mental health disorders. (We're learning now that mental health issues often have both a biological and cultural base and can lie dormant if never triggered. Unfortunately, the trigger is different for everyone.

I know that's not a satisfying answer but we just don't know much.
