More than medication, your friend is in some desparate need of psychodynamic individual and group therapy. Therapy is the ONLY thing that will help to resolve his problems in the long run. If you really want to be a good friend, I would do a ton of research and find a really good therapist that is empathetic and compassionate and has a Phd. in clinical psychology.
If your friend also has depression and anxiety-with his past I imaging he does have some-Zoloft may be a good option and can help with anger. I would try to persuade him to go to therapy before settling on a medication though. Sometimes people feel so good on medication that they lose any motivation to go to much needed therapy.
