These disorders range from bipolar I disorder, featuring full-blown manic episodes, to cyclothymia, featuring less prominent hypomanic episodes, to " subsyndromal " conditions where only some of the criteria for mania or hypomania are met.

Associated features are clinical phenomena that often accompany the disorder but are not part of the diagnostic criteria for the disorder.

A naturalistic study from first admission for mania or mixed episode ( representing the hospitalized and therefore most severe cases ) found that 50 % achieved syndromal recovery ( no longer meeting criteria for the diagnosis ) within six weeks and 98 % within two years.

At least three of the four criteria should be present for a confirmed diagnosis.

Several well-known criteria can be used to establish a probable diagnosis.

The diagnostic categories and the vast majority of the specific criteria for diagnosis were unchanged.

Critics, such as psychiatrist Niall McLaren, argue that the DSM lacks validity because it has no relation to an agreed scientific model of mental disorder and therefore the decisions taken about its categories ( or even the question of categories versus dimensions ) were not scientific ones ; and that it lacks reliability partly because different diagnoses share many criteria, and what appear to be different criteria are often just rewordings of the same idea, meaning that the decision to allocate one diagnosis or another to a patient is to some extent a matter of personal prejudice.

Reviewers note, however, that this approach is undermining research, including in genetics, because it results in the grouping of individuals who have very little in common except superficial criteria as per DSM or ICD diagnosis.

It is a clinical diagnosis made on the basis of symptoms, physical exam, radiographs ( X-rays ) and labs, although the American College of Rheumatology ( ACR ) and the European League Against Rheumatism ( EULAR ) publish classification criteria for the purpose of research.

The criteria are not intended for the diagnosis for routine clinical care ; they were primarily intended to categorize research ( classification criteria ).

Thus, currently biopsy is only considered confirmatory for the clinical diagnosis, or one of diagnostic criteria.
