There are no excludes and mood disorder is a major symptom of Bipolar, would you code both or just Bipolar?

It really depends on the documentation. However, even though there is no "Excludes" specifically for F39, it does exclude Major Depression. Generally, I would not code them together unless the provider documents them as separate conditions.
