              F.

              This is a residual category for individuals with manic features that cannot be classified as Bipolar Disorder or as Cyclothymic Disorder. For example, an individual who previously had a major depressive episode and now has an episode of illness with some manic features [hypomanic episode], but not of sufficient severity and duration to meet the criteria for a manic episode. Such cases have been referred to as "Bipolar II."<\/strong><\/sup><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

                [1] A distinct and sustained episode of the full depressive syndrome in an individual with Schizophrenia, Residual Type, that develops without an activation of the psychotic symptoms.<\/sup><\/strong><\/div>\n
                [2] A disorder that fulfills the criteria for Dysthymic Disorder; however there have been intermittent periods of normal mood lasting more than a few months. <\/sup><\/strong><\/div>\n
                [3] A brief episode of depression that does not meet the criteria for a Major Affective Disorder and that is apparently not reactive to psychosocial stress, so that it cannot be classified as an Adjustment Disorder.<\/sup><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

                  \n
                  [1] impairment in social or occupational functioning
                  <\/sup><\/strong><\/div>\n
                  [2] symptoms that are in excess of normal and expectable reaction to the stessor

                \n
                C. The disturbance is not merely one instance of a pattern of overreaction to stress or an exacerbation of one of the mental disorders previously described.

                \n
