Z61.4: Problems related to alleged sexual abuse of child by person within primary support group
Problems related to alleged sexual abuse of a child by a person within the primary support group (Z61.4) refer to psychological, emotional, behavioral, and physical issues that may occur after a child experiences allegations of sexual abuse by someone they are familiar with, such as a family member or close family friend. This situation can result in an array of difficulties for the child, which might include depression, anxiety, problems at school, difficulties in relationships, and even physical symptoms like sleep disorders or changes in appetite. The child may also express thoughts of self-harm. The distressing experience of confronting allegations of abuse within a trusted circle can significantly impact a child's normal development and emotional well-being, potentially leading to long-term trauma and disturbances in all dimensions of their life.
