Y85-Y89: Sequelae of external causes of morbidity and mortality

Y87: Sequelae of intentional self-harm, assault and events of undetermined intent

Sequelae of intentional self-harm, assault, and events of undetermined intent refer to a group of conditions where an individual experiences lasting physical or mental effects following an incident of intentional injury, either self-inflicted or caused by another person, or from occurrences where the cause is not clearly determined. These effects can vary widely depending on the nature and severity of the original event. Physical sequelae could include sustained pain or disability, while mental sequelae might manifest as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, or depression. All these sequelae impacts can detrimentally affect an individual's daily life and well-being long after the original event has occurred. These conditions are not contagious, but they can be triggered by violent incidents or traumatic life events. Symptoms can be chronic or episodic, often progressing or fluctuating based on the individual's environment, support structure, and coping mechanisms. Sequelae conditions can impact various body systems, including the musculoskeletal, nervous and psychological systems.
