Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Symptoms characteristic of a bipolar/related disorder causing clinically significant distress/impairment
Core criterion B
Does not meet full criteria for any specific bipolar or related disorder
Core criterion C
Clinician specifies reason criteria not met (e.g. short-duration hypomanic episodes; insufficient symptoms)
Consistent with [Other Specified Bipolar and Related Disorder] [specifier(s)]. There have been elevated mood; expansive mood; irritable mood; increased energy or goal-directed activity; decreased need for sleep; increased talkativeness or pressured speech; flight of ideas or subjective racing thoughts; distractibility; increased involvement in activities with potential for adverse consequences, occurring in a bipolar-spectrum pattern that is clinically significant but does not meet full criteria for bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, or cyclothymic disorder, due to atypical duration, subthreshold symptom count, or context-specific features. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment, and the pattern is not better accounted for by unipolar depressive disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, substance/medication-induced mood disturbance, or mood change due to another medical condition.
