Human Factors
I was pilot monitoring on the initial climbout from ZZZ when I noticed my FO (First Officer) was nose high and banking to the right approximately 40 degrees with airspeed decreasing from 95 KTS to 85 KTS. I asked why he was turning as were supposed to be climbing left to ZZZZZ. He seemed confused by my question and I realized that he had lost situational awareness. I declared 'My Plane' at which point he gave a positive transfer of controls. I leveled the wings and regained a positive rate of climb before turning back onto course. After regaining stable flight I offered the controls back to my FO. He refused controls and I continued to fly. I told him he had the radios and told him to check in with departure. Center asked us why we had turned to the right off of our expected heading and my FO was honest with the Controller; informing him that he had lost control of the aircraft and heading had diverged prior to me regaining control of the aircraft. The Controller acknowledged and told us to climb according to our planned route. After reaching cruising altitude I debriefed my FO and we discussed what went wrong. We ultimately determined that the loss of control was due to deficiencies in his scan as a result of his inexperience with analog instruments.
Air Carrier Captain reported a recovery from unusual attitude and a track heading deviation during initial climb.
