I do and it is a tough nut to crack, so to speak. I'm gonna work from two assumptions: (i) Lucas has a mood disorder and (ii) Lucas has a personality disorder. Type II Bipolar and Malignant Narcissism, respectively.
Medication would improve his emotional wellbeing, if Lucas worked with a mental health team and was able to dial in effective meds with appropriate doses, we'd probably see a marked improvement in his anger management and see a huge reduction in his obsessive thinking. He'd probably be able to focus more and be less apt to misinterpret random stimuli or social situations, and have longer conversations without derailing into agephobia and class rants.
That said, emotional states are temporary but personality traits are not. The biggest factor in someone being treated successfully long term for mental illness is the amount of insight the person has about their condition. Lucas' narcissism utterly prevents any sort of insight into his own condition because he is incapable (at this point in time anyways) of comprehending how his actions have negatively impacted him. The last thing I listened to from Lucas was something about his atheism and when gets on that topic he will always bring up the Bible, how Christians don't follow it (IT IS AGAINST THE WORSHIP OF MONEY BUT YOU FUCK GUYS WITH NICE CARS AND CREDIT CARDS!), and this inevitably leads to his claim that the reason he doesn't believe in God or the Bible is because how other people have treated him. This is a super common theme with him, he isn't X because people have done Y. This is a familiar formula that he pretty much applies to everyone from family, all women, Christians, "Leftists", etc. He frames every interaction and relationship this way which is utterly destructive to his chances at ever obtaining a meaningful friend or romantic partner.
I think the shit about telomeres are more of an ad hoc justification he manufactured on his own for something he already feels deep down in his bones. I think it is a painfully obvious the entire "age-gap breeding" fantasy is him trying to appear "rational" and "evidence driven", acting more as a cover for his sexual obsessions than some kind of doctrine or ideal that appeals to him intellectually. In that sense his grand narrative about how older men are superior breeding stock is entirely epiphenomenal, a one way offshoot of his narcissism whose entire purpose is to justify why he is being systematically and grievously wronged because he isn't fucking women half his age.
There is no medication for narcissism, the only option out there is long term psychotherapy with the goal of not "curing" the narcissism but learning how to mitigate it in slow increments. Of course, the last people on earth who think they need therapy (much less long term therapy) are going to be narcissists.
