A member asked:
My sister's cutting addiction is getting out of control. how can i help her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Psych consult: Cutting behavior often results from an underlying psychological problem. A thorough evaluation and treatment plan should be sought from a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist. Be supportive but firm in directing her towards help. Ultimately, it is up to her to go and you cannot make her get help.
