A member asked:
What would experts say? could a doctor tell my parents if i have self harm scars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self harm: I hope that the doctor would. The doctor is there to help you & to ensure that you get the care that you need. Trying to keep problems a secret, makes it almost impossible to help them. Your parents need to be aware of what you are going through so that they can support you.
