Unipolar Mania in the DSM?!


Question:

Unipolar Mania in the DSM?

My dad suffers from unipolar mania and I'm just wandering why it isn't classified in the DSM as a seperate disorder from bipolar in the same way unipolar depression is.

My dad has never had any depressive episodes, only manic episodes and mood swings. Does anyone know why it isn't there?


Answers:

You know I have no idea why that is but I can guess that the mania in both disorders is the same. I always thought that unipolar did not have mania as a symptom but major depression.
