I have had only 1 mild paranoid event during mania that came years after my first recognized mania, so I obviously DO NOT understand
psychotic features of BP at all. But my ex-husband has had many
psychotic events. He has Bipolar Disorder w/ psychotic features. He has gone into psychosis many times, and is extremely paranoid. After reading the Bipolar Child I see that he has been bipolar his whole life, and has only been diagnosed 3 months ago.
