Desval ER contains a time released formulation of Divalproex, which is an anticonvulsant, it is commonly given to prevent seizures, but is also sometimes used to treat mood disorders.

And if he runs out and doesn't have it, he does face the risk of seizures, even if that isn't what he was taking it for, because this a sudden withdrawal could cause rebound effects.

As to whether or not he is on it for life, that depends on what he is taking it to treat. If he has epilepsy, then yes, there is chance he will always require this or a similar medication.
