Here is a link which outlines the two principal systems of catagorization, DSM-IV and Akiskal

I agree that knowing the category helps orientate the doctors choice of treatment. It can also help in the acceptance of the illness.
Knowledge is a powerful weapon for overcoming the difficulties of living with bipolar disorder, the more you know about your own illness, the better prepared you will be for facing the ups and downs.
Bon courage,
