Z63.5: Disruption of family by separation and divorce
Disruption of family by separation and divorce, as classified by the ICD-10 Z63.5 code, refers to the psychological and emotional impact experienced during a family breakup due to separation or divorce. It covers a wide variety of emotional states that may develop in response to the changes in relationships and living arrangements. The affected individuals often experience heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and depression and may also manifest certain behavioral changes. The level of vulnerability to such emotional distress can be influenced by many factors, including age, extent of support systems, and previous emotional health and resilience. It is essentially not a medical or physical condition but does have significant impact on the psychological and emotional well-being of an individual.
