A member asked:
What do i do about a friend who is cutting herself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs to seek help: People who cut themselves may have a number of reasons why they do this but often it is an emotional response to try to re-direct a painful event or emotion or other psychological stress. This individual needs to be evaluated by a Psychologist or Mental/Behavioral specialist to help them.
