Z61.5: Problems related to alleged sexual abuse of child by person outside primary support group

Problems related to alleged sexual abuse of a child by a person outside the primary support group denote a social and psychological issue faced by a child following an alleged incident of sexual abuse by an individual who is not an immediate family member or part of the child's traditional personal support network. This condition typically results from a traumatic incident that may bring a range of physical, emotional, and psychological effects. The child may present symptoms such as fear, anxiety, depression, change in behavior, difficulty sleeping, and withdrawal from social activities. The potential physical symptoms may include unexplained injuries, pain, or discomfort. However, it's important to note that not all children manifest visible signs or symptoms following such an incident. The specific symptoms, their severity, and the duration can vary greatly among affected children and depend on an array of factors, including the nature of the incident, the child's age, and the child's overall mental health.
