Parent-child conflict
ICD-10 Z62.82 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of parent-child conflict.
Z62.82 refers to parent-child conflict, a situation that can significantly influence both the mental and physical health of individuals involved. This conflict may arise from various factors, including differing values, communication issues, and behavioral problems. It is essential to recognize that such conflicts can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and depression in both parents and children, potentially resulting in a need for healthcare services. Preventive care strategies may include family counseling and communication workshops, while screening for mental health issues can help identify those affected by these conflicts. Aftercare may involve ongoing therapy or support groups to address the emotional fallout. Understanding the social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, education, and community resources, is crucial in addressing parent-child conflicts effectively and ensuring that families receive the appropriate support and interventions.
