Self-harm, also known as self-injury, is the act of intentionally causing harm to oneself, such as cutting or burning the skin. It is often a coping mechanism used to deal with intense emotions, stress, or trauma. It is important for professionals to be aware of the signs and indicators of self-harm in adolescents and to know how to appropriately intervene and provide follow-up care. Self-harm is more common in adolescents than many people realize, and it can affect individuals of any age, gender, or background. It is often associated with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, and it can also be a symptom of other underlying conditions. Some common forms of self-harm in adolescents include cutting, burning, scratching, or hitting oneself.
