Psychosis can occur in people with bipolar disorders, however, bipolar disorder is different from Psychotic disorders. A person with bipolar disorder can experience extreme mood shifts just like in Psychotic disorders. However, Psychotic disorder is a condition where a person is disconnected with the reality.

Some common symptoms of Psychotic disorders are:

Unable to think clearly
Being extremely suspicious of other people
Spending time alone
Uninterested in self care
Having no feelings or emotions
