ICD-11 code : 6A60;
Preferred Label : Bipolar type I disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Bipolar type I disorder is an episodic mood disorder defined by the occurrence of
one or more manic or mixed episodes. A manic episode is an extreme mood state lasting
at least one week unless shortened by a treatment intervention characterized by euphoria,
irritability, or expansiveness, and by increased activity or a subjective experience
of increased energy, accompanied by other characteristic symptoms such as rapid or
pressured speech, flight of ideas, increased self-esteem or grandiosity, decreased
need for sleep, distractibility, impulsive or reckless behavior, and rapid changes
among different mood states (i.e., mood lability). A mixed episode is characterized
by either a mixture or very rapid alternation between prominent manic and depressive
symptoms on most days during a period of at least 2 weeks. Although the diagnosis
can be made based on evidence of a single manic or mixed episode, typically manic
or mixed episodes alternate with depressive episodes over the course of the disorder.;
