Z56.4: Discord with boss and workmates

Discord with boss and workmates, as classified under Z56.4 ICD-10, refers to a situation or condition in which an individual experiences continuous conflict or disagreement with their employer or fellow colleagues at work. This scenario can potentially have adverse effects on an individual's mental wellbeing causing heightened stress, anxiety, and other psychological distress. It is not a disorder or disease in itself, but a significant psychosocial factor that can increase the risk or worsen existing conditions such as mental health disorders and other stress-related issues. The condition has no physical symptoms as it primarily affects the emotional and mental wellbeing of the individual. This discord or conflict could stem from varying views, miscommunication, or a hostile work environment. It is crucial to note that this classification is used as a factor or contributor to the overall health evaluation and not as a standalone diagnosis.
