Personal history of physical and sexual abuse in childhood
ICD-10 Z62.810 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of personal history of physical and sexual abuse in childhood.
Z62.810 captures the personal history of individuals who experienced physical and sexual abuse during childhood. This history can significantly influence an individual's health status, leading to various psychological and physical health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. Social determinants such as socioeconomic status, family dynamics, and access to healthcare services play a crucial role in the long-term health outcomes of these individuals. Preventive care strategies may include mental health screenings, trauma-informed care approaches, and supportive counseling. Screening for associated conditions is vital, as early intervention can mitigate the long-term effects of childhood abuse. Aftercare may involve ongoing mental health support, rehabilitation services, and community resources to foster recovery and resilience.
