A manic episode that is improving or has mostly resolved, where the person still has some residual manic symptoms but is no longer in the acute phase.
Coding Tips

Clinical Significance
Manic episode in partial remission indicates a patient whose acute manic symptoms are improving but have not fully resolved. Some residual manic features may persist, such as mildly elevated mood, slightly increased energy, or reduced sleep need, but the full manic syndrome is no longer present. This code is clinically important for tracking treatment response and recovery trajectory. Continued medication and monitoring are typically required during partial remission.
