Z65.3: Problems related to other legal circumstances
Problems related to other legal circumstances (Z65.3) describe situations where an individual's health is impacted due to legal issues beyond criminal behavior. An individual may experience mental or physical health problems stemming from a variety of events such as legal disputes, court proceedings, incarceration, or other interactions with the legal system. Potential health effects can vary widely and may include stress-related illnesses, exacerbation of pre-existing conditions, or development of new ones due to the associated emotional burden or lifestyle changes. It is important to note that these health problems may manifest in both short-term, such as episodes of increased blood pressure or anxiety attacks, and long term consequences, such as chronic depression or cardiovascular diseases.
