Some mental disorders do tend to show symptoms later in life, but there is a LOT that goes into a mental disorder.
Probably some genetic predisposition, environmental factors, stress, other concurrent mental issues.
There can sometimes be a trigger or precipitating factor that can cause someone who is already biologically predisposed to start showing symptoms, sometimes acutely.
Unless there was a TBI or traumatic brain injury or infection/illness that affected his brain, I doubt he used to be completely normal, he just didn't show strong symptoms perhaps.
(I am not a doctor or psychologist, but I have worked in a mental hospital and have a degree in psychology with some biology and nursing background)
EDIT: one of those environmental factors can DEFINITELY be drugs. Brain chemistry ain't nothing to fuck with.

Are they his children too?
How are they coping with this situation? Do they understand what is happening?
