Z62.5: Other problems related to neglect in upbringing
"Other problems related to neglect in upbringing," classified under the ICD-10 code Z62.5, refers to a medical condition which occurs as a result of negligence or neglect during a child's developmental years. This condition encompasses both physical neglect and emotional neglect. Physical neglect may involve deprivation of basic needs such as food, shelter, health care, or suitable clothing. Emotional neglect, on the other hand, may arise from a lack of affection, support, presence, or positive reinforcement from caregivers. Neglect might lead to significant psychological and physical impairments in the child, which may adversely affect their mental and physical growth, their ability to interact socially, and their overall developmental progress. It is important to note that the effects of neglect can be long-lasting, often persisting into adulthood.
