is he on meds? if so the levels may not be working anymore. have his levels tested he may need a new prescription. he also should be in therapy to help him work out his feelings and processes.

i have bipolar disorder. it's a mood disorder. we have anxiety, depression, highs, agitations and low phases... sometimes we even "normal out"!
if you have no idea what he's going through, it's probably because you are not bipolar yourself.
meanwhile, if the son is acting out and on meds, perhaps his doseages or meds need to be changed? sometimes it takes some experimenting to find what works well for the individual.. just because one particular med works for me, doesn't necessarily mean it works for your son.
did you get a second opinion diagnosis? maybe you could look into that.
your son could also use consistent therapy.. learn some coping skills -- how to react.. how to STOP and think before reacting... etc... you could even talk to his therapist about helping him learn different ways to react.... because he CAN.. he just doesn't know it.
there are many helpful resources on bipolar disorder if you do an online search. here are a few which might help, below in sources.
you can search for CHILDREN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER, BIPOLAR DISORDER IN CHILDREN, COPING WITH A BIPOLAR CHILD, ADOLESCENT BIPOLAR DISORDER.... and whatever else comes to mind.
take care of YOU too.. hugs

First of all,never show fear to your child.Your child should always know that you are their creator and you could also be their executioner.What I mean is I don't care if that child is octopolor,he is to respect himself,his siblings and his parents.You have to stand up for your rights as a parent and be adamant about his respecting you.Please, before they called his condition bipolar,they were calling us bad a$$ kids who needed a spanking.In my time that's all it took to get some clarity in my head and I raised my kids the same way.You need to stick to what you as an adult know is the correct behavior and be consistent in your beliefs.Don't give up on the child but don't give up on yourself.

Is he getting counseling? He should be. And then you can talk with his therapist to get some ideas. I think it would be important to lay down some rules and boundaries for yourself and the family. Broken rules should have consequences that he knows about ahead of time. Make a chart. You should not be lenient on him because he is bipolar. He must learn to get along in the world and in his family!

If he is old enough medicate him. it will help everyone including him. If he is using it as an excuse it is just a ploy of a manipulator, and being bipolar makes you really good at it.
