Please find below a list of disorders that are currently proposed for the diagnostic category, Bipolar and Related Disorders. This category contains diagnoses that were listed in DSM-IV under the chapter of Mood Disorders. The Mood Disorders Work Group has been responsible for addressing these revisions. The work group has proposed to eliminate the Mixed Episode diagnosis in favor of a Mixed Features Specifier, which would apply to Manic, Hypomanic, and Depressive episodes. We appreciate your review and comment on these disorders.
