A member asked:
Can people self harm when they are stressed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they can: But not everyone does. People who have not learned healthier or more direct methods of dealing with painful emotion can self harm whenever they feel something they don't want to feel. Psychotherapy -- especially dialectical behavioral therapy -- can offer helpful tools to deal with painful states. http://tinyurl.com/qccr6no.
