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 characterised 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 behaviour, and rapid changes
among different mood states (i.e., mood lability). A mixed episode is characterised
by the presence of several prominent manic and several prominent depressive symptoms
consistent with those observed in manic episodes and depressive episodes, which either
occur simultaneously or alternate very rapidly (from day to day or within the same
day). Symptoms must include an altered mood state consistent with a manic and/or depressive
episode (i.e., depressed, dysphoric, euphoric or expansive mood), and be present most
of the day, nearly every day, during a period of at least 2 weeks, unless shortened
by a treatment intervention. 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.;
