Self-Harm

Self-Harm is not a mental health condition. Self-Harm is anything that someone does to cause deliberate harm or injury to themselves. It is a negative coping strategy that people use to try and cope with difficult things. Not everyone that self-harms has mental health difficulties. 

The phrase ‘self-harm’ is used to describe a wide range of behaviors. Self-harm is often understood to be a physical response to an emotional pain of some kind, and can be very addictive. Some of the things people do are quite well known, such as cutting, burning or pinching, but there are many, many ways to hurt yourself, including abusing drugs and alcohol or having an eating disorder.
