The numbers indicate the general diagnosis (like 296 is for major depression) and associated details, such as severity. For instance.....

296.32 = Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent, Moderate

These codes are documented in a big fat book called the DSM-IV TR which is used by everyone in the mental health field.
