Absolutely. Type 1 Bipolar Affective Disorder (what one would classically call "manic-depression") at its most severe can cause psychotic symptoms of all sorts, particularly in the manic phase.
Delusions of grandeur and delusions of persecution are common psychotic features associated with the manic phase of type 1 Bipolar disorder. Delusional thinking alone, in fact, is far more common as a psychotic feature when psychotic features are present, though frank hallucinations can also occur in the most severe cases.
If left untreated in severe manias this may progress to hallucinatory experiences particularly;
-auditory hallucinations
-olfactory hallucinations
Visual hallucinations, more commonly reported among those with true psychotic disorders, are rarer, though they are reported.
