Definitely could be: What you describe sounds like a person who is psychotic. If you know he's bipolar and has not been sleeping, it's very possible he's in a manic episode and needs to see a psychiatrist. If he will listen to you, see if you can encourage him to go to the emergency room. If he will not, call his psychiatrist and tell him what's happening. If he has no psychiatrist, call 911 and ask for help.
