Manic episode without psychotic symptoms, unspecified

This diagnosis code signifies a distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood and abnormally and persistently increased activity or energy, lasting at least one week, without the presence of hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thought. The "unspecified" aspect indicates that further details regarding the severity or specific features of the manic episode are not documented.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with a manic episode characterized by symptoms such as grandiosity, decreased need for sleep, pressured speech, flight of ideas, distractibility, increased goal-directed activity, or excessive involvement in pleasurable activities, and there is no evidence of psychotic features. Documentation should clearly state the presence of a manic episode without psychosis, but lack further specification regarding severity or other clinical characteristics.

• Only use this code when the documentation explicitly states "unspecified" or lacks further detail regarding the manic episode's severity or features.
• Distinguish carefully from manic episodes with psychotic features (F30.2) or hypomanic episodes (F30.0).
• Consider sequencing this code as the primary diagnosis if it is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it is a co-occurring condition.
