Yes, and it’s not exclusive to bipolar disorder either as unipolar depression can also have psychotic features. Even if you don’t have psychosis, mood disorders do impair your thinking.
I’m not entirely sure what kind of mood disorder I have, but a few months ago I became very paranoid about my psychiatrist. I can’t explain it but I was certain that he was trying to make me sick or that he was trying to make me join Scientology. I don’t think it was psychosis as I had the insight to feel conflicted and doubtful about it. However, I was paranoid and not thinking clearly and that was very much influenced by my mood state. I still don’t understand what came over me because I have no reason to be suspicious of him. All I know is that I ended up attempting suicide shortly after that period. Now my mood is stable and I’m shocked at how differently I see him.
Moods are very powerful.

I can relate to that. I used to HATE my sister's boyfriend and I thought he was hiding cameras in my bedroom to spy on me.
Now I feel very differently about him and I often wonder what led me to think that about him?
