Manic episode (F30)

The ICD-10 code section F30 covers diagnoses related to **manic episodes**, which are periods of abnormally elevated mood and activity. These codes differentiate between the presence or absence of psychotic symptoms, severity levels, and remission status.

This section includes codes like F30.1 for manic episodes without psychotic symptoms and further specificity such as F30.11 for mild and F30.12 for moderate episodes. For severe cases without psychosis, use F30.13, while F30.2 identifies severe manic episodes with psychotic features, capturing terms such as "severe bipolar I disorder with psychotic features" or "manic stupor." Codes F30.3 and F30.4 denote **manic episodes in partial or full remission**, helping to track recovery stages. Other specified or unspecified types fall under F30.8 and F30.9, which include synonyms like "mania," "manic disorder single episode," and "bipolar I disorder, single manic episode." Using these codes ensures accurate classification and documentation of different manifestations and severities of manic episodes in mental health records.
