It's hard to say whether he has any diagnosable mental disorder, but he's obviously got a problem. The problem is partially related to impulse control dysregulation, so therapy would likely be helpful. CBT or DBT might help a lot with it.
There could also be a bit of depression mixed in, but a trained professional should assess that. And, even if there is, psychotherapy to help him learn to control those impulses will still be the best help for him.
Hope that helps.
