Absolutely bi-polar left untreated, can be a step into paranoia and delusional thinking. My best friend suffers from it and thing only get worse when he doesn't manage his bi-polar disorder. He gets down right "wacky" he will refuse to sleep in an apartment choosing to stay awake all night or sleep in the woods or a strangers home. Please seek treatment for your safety.

Usually, a bipolar person has a mood disorder. Psychotic features are usually part of another diagnosis.
it can get much worse but I don't think it will change the type of disorder it is
yes, when you were diagnosed with bipolar didnt they suggest treatment for it???? if not, see a new doctor,,,,,,,otherwise, how do you know for sure you have it, if you havent seen a doctor
I have read that if left untreated it gets worse as you get older. I know that I have much worse episodes as I've gotten older. Psychotic episodes or paranoia do happen in either a manic state or depressed state.
Bipolar disorder has varied symptoms from each person. It is dangerous in several ways. In the depressive mood there is sucidial ideation and action that often happens. Not to mention that it often severely impairs ones ability to carry on relationships, and work. If you have been diagnosed chances are your symptoms are severe enough to require medication.
