Bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features, severe
ICD-10 F31.13 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features, severe.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). The current episode manic without psychotic features, severe, indicates that the patient is experiencing a manic episode that is intense and disruptive but does not include hallucinations or delusions. Symptoms of a severe manic episode may include increased energy, decreased need for sleep, grandiosity, talkativeness, distractibility, and engagement in high-risk behaviors. This condition can significantly impair social and occupational functioning and may lead to dangerous situations due to impulsivity. Treatment typically involves mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, and psychotherapy. Regular monitoring for suicide risk is crucial, as individuals with bipolar disorder have a higher risk of suicide, particularly during depressive episodes or when experiencing severe manic symptoms.
