Is this a form of abuse?

...See more My husband has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and when he starts in his manic phase he becomes someone I don't want to know especially when he drinks excessively. The other morning I was making a cup of coffee and he was so angry, he got up to yell at me for 15 minutes because I was making too much noise. He said that he can hear me stir my coffee and how selfish I am for not being considerate. That following night, I went to bed and he wouldn't let me sleep the entire night. He would turn the TV on very loud, slam doors, force me out of bed, turn lights on, yell at me, etc…. After a couple of days he was back to the man I married. In a way, I’m scared to make any noise because of what I went thru and don’t like being yelled at. I don’t like the way I feel at all Is this a form of abuse? Can I ask him to speak to his medical dr to modify his meds? I’m really at a loss right now.
