Z74: Problems related to care-provider dependency

Problems related to care-provider dependency represent a group of conditions where the person requires assistance for daily living, due to either physical or mental limitations. It is not a disease or an illness in itself, rather it's a circumstance that arises as a result of various health conditions such as chronic ailments, disabilities, or cognitive impairment like dementia or other mental health issues. The need for assistance can range from personal care tasks, like eating, bathing, or dressing to instrumental activities like shopping, managing finances, or taking medication. Symptoms are not applicable as this is a dependant situation rather than a health condition. The progression depends on the underlying cause and may be temporary, like post-operation recoveries, or long-term, as is usually seen in elderly individuals or those with chronic conditions.
