This seems rather weak to me:
"
C 00 Bipolar I Disorder
C 01 Bipolar II Disorder
C 02 Cyclothymic Disorder
C 03 Substance-Induced Bipolar Disorder
C 04 Bipolar Disorder Associated with a Known General Medical Condition
C 05 Other Specified Bipolar Disorder
C 06 Unspecified Bipolar Disorder
"

I like the following. I thought this is what they had in mind:
THE BIPOLAR SPECTRUM
BIPOLAR I: Both mania and major depression
BIPOLAR II: Major depression and hypomania
BIPOLAR III: Cyclothymia. Mild depression and hypomania
BIPOLAR IV: Depression and usually no mania. Mania may be triggered by some antidepressants.
BIPOLAR V: Depression and no mania. Some blood relatives have had mania
BIPOLAR VI: Mania and no depression
The only things missing are NOS and substance abuse.
