T73: Effects of other deprivation
T73.8: Other effects of deprivation
The condition referred to as "Other effects of deprivation" under the ICD-10 code T73.8 is a set of health concerns that arise due to insufficient access to necessary resources. This could range from inadequate nutrition, impaired physical development due to deprivation of exercise, mental health issues emanating from social or emotional neglect, or disorders resulting from insufficient sleep. Symptoms vary widely based on the specific type of deprivation, but they can include significant weight loss or gain, chronic fatigue, developmental delays, and emotional distress. The condition can be acute, appearing rapidly and severe, or chronic, occurring over an extended time period, depending on the duration of deprivation. The progression of the condition will also vary with the type and duration of the deprivation. This condition isn't communicable and stems largely from circumstances that limit resource availability.
