International Classification of Diseases

Last updated: 10/3/2025

What is a ICD-10 Code?

ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.

Detailed Description

This code indicates that you are receiving professional mental health services to address difficulties or conflicts in your relationship with your spouse or partner. This might include communication problems, trust issues, intimacy concerns, or other relationship challenges that are affecting your well-being. The code is used when these relationship issues are the primary focus of your psychiatric or counseling treatment. This is a common reason people seek therapy, and addressing relationship problems early can help improve both your mental health and relationship satisfaction.

Additional Information

This is a Z-code indicating circumstances that may affect health status but are not themselves illnesses. Treatment typically involves talk therapy, counseling techniques, and may include both individual and couples sessions. The goal is to improve relationship functioning and individual coping skills.
