Diagnosis F43.0G - this is what the disease code stands for

All known clinical pictures have now been classified. This classification of diseases is called ICD for short.

• With the help of the International Classification of Diseases, ICD for short, a globally valid system was created to classify the numerous clinical pictures in a meaningful way. The ICD is the responsibility of the World Health Organization, which continues and maintains the system. With the help of the internationally standardized disease code, work in the medical field is made much easier.
• The first three digits of the disease code, which consist of a letter and two digits, form the main categories.
• "Mental and behavioral disorders" are defined under F00 to F99. Diseases that fall into this category are therefore not organic.
• The disease code F43.0 is defined in the ICD as "acute stress response".
• If your doctor has also provided the disease code with a G, this means: reliable diagnosis. A V, on the other hand, stands for a suspected diagnosis.
• An acute stress reaction is usually caused by a stressful life event. For example, this can be a severe, unexpected stroke of fate, such as the partner's death from an accident.

If you have received a certificate of incapacity to work from your doctor, you must make sure that you report sick properly, otherwise you can get a lot of trouble despite the certificate.
