A member asked:
Is there something psychologically wrong with people who cut themselves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unhealthy.: People may self mutilate for a number of reasons. If they feel empty - they may cut to feel something. If they hurt emotionally - they may do it to distract themself with physical pain instead. They may be self- punishing or believe that they are letting out evil. It is a poor coping skill - quite unhealthy.
