Cutting: Meds and therapy together are your best bet. Get a psychiatric evaluation for what ails your friend, and what cutting means to him/her as well as anything else that may be going on. Then get a referral to a reputable psychotherapist to help with the emotional issues behind cutting. DO THIS RIGHT NOW. TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND GO TO YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY ROOM WITH YOUR FRIENDOR DIAL 911 IMMEDIATELY
