Yes. Although people with Bipolar disorder usually have cycles of depression and mania, or hypomania, it is possible to be classified as bipolar even if you've never experienced a depressive episode.
Assuming the manic episodes are not substance-induced or caused by an aggravating medical condition, the person could be diagnosed bipolar. The DSM-IV-TR code for bipolar disorder is 296.xx, with "xx" indicating the type and severity of the most recent episode.

Cyclothymia will never have psychosis.

What is the worst mental illness?
Bipolar I Disorder (mot to be confused with Bipolar II). Highest suicide rate, mania, to include hallucinations and hearing voices, often violence. Bipolar I disorder also includes hypomania and severe depression. The term "Bipolar" at one time was known as Manic Depressive Illness. Currently, the name for the illness has come to include, erroneously, the Bipolar II. Bipolar II does not have the element of mania that Bipolar I does. Actually Bipolar II does have a manic element, but it is hypomanic, which is a lot less severe than the mania of Bipolar I. A lot of people, like me, start out as Bipolar II but become Bipolar I when they have their first full-blown manic attack (I prefer attack to episode because that's what it is--an attack on the mind).
