Z55: Problems related to education and literacy
Z55.8: Other problems related to education and literacy
The condition labeled as "Other problems related to education and literacy" refers to a variety of challenges an individual might face that are associated with their education and capacity to read and write. This may include difficulties that stem from the quality, accessibility, or specific context of their educational experiences, or it could involve struggles with reading and writing skills, which are commonly associated with conditions such as dyslexia or dysgraphia. These difficulties in education and literacy may, in some cases, have significant impacts on a person's ability to receive and process health-related information, which can prove challenging when it comes to understanding and properly managing their own health and wellness. These problems are typically not medical conditions in themselves, but they can nevertheless play a meaningful role in the broader picture of a person's health and well-being.
