Question: Does this ever happen in mixed episodes [bipolar]!?
Does this ever happen in mixed episodes!? When I am in a mixed episode I sometimes become a bit paranoid!. I hear people saying my name every now and then!. I'll hallucinate about once or twice too!. I sometimes don't make sense when I try to talk also and feel disoriented!. I am not on meds!. I'm only 13 and have been experiencing "the cycle" for about 2 years!. I am going to tell my counselor at my next appointment and he will possibly refer me to a psychiatrist!. This only happens in a mixed episode!. I've never had a full blown mania!. Only hypomania, depression, and mixed episodes!. So, does this ever happen to you!?

This is not only common in mixed episodes, but in mania as well!. I think maybe sometimes mixed episodes are labelled that way simply because people expect that mania means you're very happy, and that just isn't the case a lot of that time!. For me mania is much, much worse than depression- I hallucinate, I am very very anxious, and am irritable and paranoid!. But you shouldn't let my advice substitute for talking with a psychiatrist- you need to discuss this with him, and ask your parents to help you with giving him feedback- sometimes when we are very sick we don't always see what the real problems are!.
Whatever happens, be sure to take your treatment seriously and take whatever medication he prescribes!. It also wouldn't hurt to ask about supplements!.
Best of luck to you, I'm sorry that you have to deal with this disease so young!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because a mixed episode is both mania and depression combined it is quite possible to hallucinate!. Mixed episodes tend to be the most stressful, and so much so that suicide rates jump during episodes!.
I tend to hallucinate and am convinced that people are out to get me!. I also hear people talking about me, that I'm going crazy, that they don't know what to do with me!. It's them manic side (for me) that causes the hallucinations/delusions/etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
