Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
The term "Paranoid Bipolar" is not in any known usage.
The closest term that I can think of that vaguely matches the asked term is "Schizoaffective disorder, Bipolar type" in which there are symptoms of schizophrenia along with bipolar presentation of mood- depression and mania one after other.
However it is not associated with "fits". Seizures are a completely different diagnosis.
However some drugs are used commonly for bipolar mood disorder and seizure disorder as well.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be more than happy to help you if you need any further clarifications.
