My FIL-to-be has a lot of erratic behaviors, what mental illness does he show signs of?

Obviously like the other questions like this say, it’s not a diagnosis. Plus, this guy refuses help, but I know it’s surely something his behavior indicates.
According to my fiancé, he:
sensitive content
-
engages in risky behaviors (like self-harm)
-
explosive fits of anger
-
fits of depression
-
fears abandonment
-
abusive and controlling behavior (beats people up, doesn’t want his family talking to others, scared his wife will cheat on him)
-
hears voices in his head telling him to kill loved ones
Not a professional, keep that in mind, but I can see BPD and/or some sort of psychosis/psychotic behavior. Also, mood swings w/ psychosis could be severe bipolar, too.
+1 to BPD. Lines up the best from my perspective.
+1 from me too.
