Absolutely. I've read studies that say that 40% of BP patients also have an anxiety disorder (OCD, generalized, PTSD, etc.). BP overlaps with lots of other (mental and personality) disorders and it's in the Spectrum with schizophrenia. And there is also something called "bipolar spectrum". (Early last century psychiatrists were not sure if manic-depression and schizophrenia were one of the same or not.)
