What should i do if someone i know was cutting themselves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cutting: If the person is a minor - please make sure their parents know. Any person who engages in repeated self- harm needs mental health assistance. A comprehensive psychological evaluation is needed. The person may need medications to help with possible mental health conditions. If the self- harm is associated with substance abuse – detoxification, 12 step programs or rehabilitation may be indicated.
