Of course. Bipolar disorder is characterized by swings in mood, including mania and depression. Both extreme moods can lead to suicidal thoughts in patients. During extreme mania, bipolar patients can experience hallucinations. For example, they may think someone or something is telling them to kill themselves. Extreme Depression can obviously lead to suicidal thoughts. It is estimated that if left untreated, a person with bipolar disorder is 5 times more likely to commit suicide.
