Z70.0: Counselling related to sexual attitude

Counselling related to sexual attitude, indicated by the ICD-10 code Z70.0, is a psychological assistance process, rather than a disease or illness. The purpose of this counseling is to assist individuals in understanding and managing their sexual attitudes, helping them establish healthier and more positive perspectives about their sexuality. People who seek this type of counseling may experience difficulties in their sexual life, face emotional distress related to their sexual attitudes, or struggle with societal pressures and norms about sexuality. These challenges might manifest as feelings of confusion, guilt, shame, or anxiety about sexual identity, orientation, or behaviors. By engaging in counseling related to sexual attitude, individuals can aim to achieve greater understanding and acceptance of their sexual self, enhancing their overall psychological well-being and interpersonal relationships. This counseling process is not typically associated with physical health conditions or symptoms, as its focus is primarily psychological and emotional in nature.
