A member asked:
What kind of doctor can treat a patient who self harms, doesn't eat, can't sleep, and has low self-esteem and anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self harm: Individuals who engage in self-harm, with sleeping difficulties, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and anxiety should be seen by a psychiatrist immediately to determine if they are in imminent danger and if they need medication. After the initial assessment, therapy would strongly be recommended.
