Specializes in Psychiatry

Professional help: You need a comprhensive psychological evaluation. This can be done by a doctoral level clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist. You might need medications to help treat problems like anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder. If your cutting is associated with substance abuse – detoxification, 12 step program involvement or rehabilitation may be indicated. Dialectic behavioral therapy is.

Cutting: Meds and therapy together are your best bet. Get a psychiatric evaluation for what ails you, and what cutting means to you as well as anything else that may be going on. Then get a referral to a reputable psychotherapist to help with the emotional issues behind cutting. Do it today.
