Z73.5: Social role conflict, not elsewhere classified

Social role conflict, not elsewhere classified, is a recognized psychological condition that can significantly impact an individual's mental wellbeing. This condition arises when an individual has difficulty reconciling various roles that they have to fulfil in different aspects of their life, such as being a parent, a spouse, or a professional. The roles may have conflicting demands, expectations, or behavioral guidelines, leading to stress and anxiety. A person with social role conflict might experience symptoms like constant worry, sleep problems, strained relationships, reduced job performance, and a general feeling of dissatisfaction with life. While it can affect anyone, it's particularly common among individuals juggling multiple responsibilities across their personal and professional lives. As the impact of social role conflict can be broad and deeply personal, the ways it presents itself can greatly vary from person to person.
