Paranoid Delusions in Bipolar Disorder

One more question about bipolar disorder❗️ Can someone have paranoid delusions while they're manic? Like people are "out to get them"? Or is that during depressive episodes? Or both??

I've had it with both myself. Personally it's stronger when I'm manic

Ok ty! If you don't mind me asking btw, is it possible to go from manic to mixed? Like if you're manic but also have anxiety or something, could the anxiety turn the manic episode into a mixed episode?
