I was looking up the codes for a friend of mine who has major depression and ADHD.  I noticed they have all these diff codes for bipolar 1 but not for bipolar 2???  Its not listed it just has a category for "all other bipolar disorders and unspecified bipolar disorders". 

I looked up mine:
296.40
Bipolar i disorder, most recent episode (or current) manic unspecified degree
manic episode of the major affective disorder bipolar depression; tendency to remission and recurrence and to swing to the major depressive episode.

When I go to get my lab work, there is a paper that I have to take with me.  It has a space, it says diagnosis and there's a number written in there and it it says what code its in.  So I looked it up on the internet.

Technically that means your last episode was manic (moderate)...I wonder why mine is unspecified?  I guess they're afraid I'll look it up  Wink
