The fact that there is a family history of mood disorder places your son in at at-risk category for displaying such a condition, and his symptoms indicate that this might well be the case.

This behavior is extreme and invites professional intervention. It would be irresponsible of me to suggest you attempt to manage this situation alone at home. Arrange an evaluation with a cclinical psychologist or other pediatric menatl health professional as soon as possible. Is there a family history of mood disorder (depression or biploar disorder)? It is very likely your son displays a biologically-based emotional disorder.
