Abstract

[Self-harm is more common than suicide attempts and is found more frequently in females and in adolescents. There exists a co-relation between death and self-harm in that up to 7% of individuals who self-harm die from their self-injury. Self-harm and suicide attempts can co-occur in some mental disorders, particularly in borderline personality disorder. Clinically it is important to distinguish self-harm events from suicide attempts as patient management may differ.]
