Which of the following is a valid full remission specifier that indicates hypomania?

• A. In full remission, manic
• B. In partial remission, hypomanic
• C. In full remission, hypomanic
• D. With anxious distress

Answer: (C)

Remission specifiers describe how much of a mood episode has remitted, and the mood state tag shows which kind of episode the specifier refers to. Full remission means no significant symptoms of that episode remain, while partial remission means some symptoms are still present. The best choice combines full remission with hypomania, indicating that a hypomanic episode has fully remitted. The other options don’t fit the pattern: fully remitted mania would refer to a manic episode (not hypomanic), partial remission with hypomanic shows only partial recovery, and anxious distress is a separate specifier not about remission status.
