Do people with untreated bipolar disorder feel revved up uncontrollable rage and that their brain is short-circuiting at times?

Some have rage, most don't.
I have bipolar and my untreated episode (which lasted over a year) had no rage at all. The first third was about the most enjoyable time in my life, the second third was frightening as I went into a manic psychosis and was hearing voices, the final third was a significantly disabling depression.

Can bipolar 2 turn into bipolar 1?
Yes. If left untreated, bipolar 2 can easily turn into bipolar 1 or possibly even rapid cycling bipolar disorder. (Second User) Yes, even with treatment (although it is much less likely in such a case) bipolar two disorder can become bipolar one disorder. This would happen when the hypomanic episodes of Bipolar 2 become more severe and harmful manic episodes. This change has been known to most often happen after somebody has had the disorder for some time. To clarify the first answer: Rapid cycling can occur in any type of bipolar disorder. It is not really its own type of bipolar disorder, rather, it is a condition that can occur with a bipolar disorder. It refers to a person who experiences four or more bipolar mood swings in a year. This can also develop over time or be a part of the disorder from the start.
