A member asked:
I scratch myself when i'm sad/mad/depressed. is this a normal response?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No -this is not : This is what i would say is a maladaptive self regulatory behavior. Clearly developing safer strategies to self regulate is essential. It would be advisable to seek professional support with a counselor who has experience in this area. I would expect that such intervention would be very helpful and a positive experience for you.
