What would cause a 8 year to hit themselves to the point of bruising. she has been to 3 different dr.'s and all have geven meds for the problem. ?

Self Harm: She should be involved in counseling. Talk to her school and she if there are any worrisome issues there. She may be under significant stress. In the meantime distraction or ignoring the behavior might help. Medication may not be the best answer. All the best.
