What falls under doctor patient confidentiality. i am not suicidal, hear me when i say that. but, i have self-harmed for years now. and i was gonna talk to my primary care doc abt it. but if i am just gonna get thrown in the loony bin, no thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The out-patient management of these self-harm practices is standard practice. A referral to someone who does talk based therapy with or without medications that help speed improvement would be what I expect to happen. The loony bin approach might be common a hundred years ago but not today.
