Is there something more extreme than bipolar disorder?

No: Bipolar disorder refers to a huge range of experiences of mood variation and psychotic symptoms, from pretty mild mood variations to extremes of torment that are as severe and extreme as can be found in any other psychiatric disorder.

Bipolar Disorder: Depends on what extreme means. Acute psychotic breakdown with suicidal/homicidal tendencies & inability to care for self, can be one example of an extreme where it is considered an emergency & needs intervention in a secure environment.
