Bipolar affective disorder remission status unspecified icd 10

Find a clear chart with the updated and consolidated codes for bipolar disorder below.

Since the DSM-5 was published in 2013, updates have been made to the codes for bipolar I and bipolar II disorders. After a long period of revisions and adaptation, the ICD-10 coding system replaced the ICD-9 code set on October 1, 2015.

The main goals of changing to the ICD-10 system were to:

  • increase the specificity of diagnoses
  • keep up to date with changes in clinical practices and medical technology
  • improve tracking of conditions

The change to ICD-10 has had a relatively small impact on the rates of bipolar diagnoses, unlike those of some other medical conditions.

For your convenience, we’ve displayed the new ICD-10-CM codes for bipolar disorder here, with the old DSM-IV codes listed below.

Is remission possible with Bipolar disorder?

The ultimate goal of bipolar management should be complete and sustained remission, whenever possible, although most patients will not achieve this status for any significant length of time.

What is the difference between Bipolar disorder and bipolar affective disorder?

The difference between these two mainly depends on the aspect of the manic episode affected by each one. It means, that a person with bipolar disorder (bipolar 1) will feel a full manic episode, whereas a person with bipolar affective disorder (bipolar 2) feels only the hypomanic episode - less serious than the latter.
