Specializes in Psychiatry

Self harm, ouch: 1. Get your knee and anywhere else you've cut evaluated by a PCP or ER doc ASAP. Pain my be due to infection! May need medical closure! 2. Seek help for your self injurious behavior! If you are in care, then alarm bells should being going off, and your team shu be arranging more care/hier level of care. If you are not currently in any psychiatric treatment, please begin ASAP! Be well!
