A member asked:
What's the expert opinion, could the doctor tell my parents about my selfharm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unsure: Your doctor has certain ethical and legal guidelines he/she must follow. They are aimed at preserving life. Usually an adult does not have to be concerned about their physician telling their parents. If you are having serious thoughts of harming yourself, tell you doctor.
