That's a really good question regarding how the DSM would categorize a mixed requiring hospitalization in a II. Do you happen to have a link handy to this stuff in the new DSM?

I have a DSM-V app on my phone, which lists all the info for the major disorders. It doesn't have the rare stuff, but it has all the criteria related to bipolar, as well as a lot of other stuff. It was $45, but I use it for work, so it was worth it for me. You can probably find all the info for free online though.
