I have a huge question: Is it typical for bipolar disorder to get worse or develop new facets with age? I ask because as I've gotten older my symptoms have become worse, harder to control with medication, and over the last few years I've developed psychotic features that were never present before (ex: visual and audio hallucinations). I can't seem to find any clear answers about this.

He is very much aware. So were the previous 2. We just can't get a handle on it. Thank you for your answer, though. It was helpful. I was incorrectly treated for MDD for 10 years until I had a psychotic episode in 2011 due to an SNRI. Perhaps this contributed to where I'm at now?
