F319 - Bipolar disorder diagnosis without specific subtype identified
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code indicates a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, a mental health condition that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. People with bipolar disorder experience periods of unusually intense emotion, changes in sleep patterns and activity levels, and uncharacteristic behaviors. These distinct periods are called 'mood episodes.' The 'unspecified' designation means that while bipolar disorder has been diagnosed, the specific type (such as Bipolar I or Bipolar II) has not been determined or documented at this time. This might be used during initial evaluation or when there isn't enough information yet to specify the exact subtype.
Additional Information
Bipolar disorder is a treatable condition. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help people with bipolar disorder lead healthy and productive lives. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy.
