Z63.2: Inadequate family support
Inadequate family support, as classified by the ICD-10 notation Z63.2, is a social circumstance where the family unit fails to provide necessary physical, emotional, financial, or health-related assistance. This condition can occur due to various reasons such as emotional unavailability, financial instability, substance abuse, illness in the family, conflict, or estrangement. This lack of support can manifest in various ways - individuals may feel neglected, experience financial hardships, face emotional distress, or struggle with unmet health needs. The effects of inadequate family support can spill over to multiple areas of life, impacting education, employment, mental and physical health. It is a significant psychosocial stressor that can lead to poor health outcomes, increased risk of mental health disorders, and a reduced ability to handle life's challenges.
