Self-Harm Treatment & Care at T-Mindcare
Self-harm—also known as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI)—is when someone deliberately hurts themselves as a way to cope with emotional pain, stress, or overwhelming feelings. Common methods include cutting, burning, or hitting oneself. While it may offer temporary relief, self-injury is not a healthy or safe coping strategy and often signals deeper emotional or mental health struggles.
Self-harm is not about attention—it’s about emotional release, control, or self-punishment. T-Mindcare offers compassionate care for self-injury, depression, and emotional distress.
Signs of Self-Harm & Why People Self-Harm
Physical Signs:
-
Unexplained cuts, burns, or bruises
-
Wearing long sleeves or pants even in hot weather
-
Frequent “accidents” or excuses for injuries
Emotional & Behavioral Signs:
-
Intense sadness, anger, or numbness
-
Isolation or withdrawal from friends and family
-
Low self-esteem or feelings of shame
-
Hiding sharp objects or tools
Self-injury is often a symptom—not the root problem.
Common underlying causes include:
-
Depression or anxiety
-
Trauma or abuse (past or present)
-
Bullying or peer pressure
-
Identity struggles (including gender or sexuality)
-
Emotional numbness or dissociation
-
Perfectionism, guilt, or self-hate
Many individuals report using self-harm as a way to:
-
Feel something when numb
-
Release inner tension
-
Regain a sense of control
-
Express pain they can’t verbalize
The Link Between Self-Harm and Mental Health
Self-harm often co-occurs with:
-
Depression
-
Anxiety disorders
-
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
-
Eating disorders
-
Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
Although self-harm is not always a suicide attempt, it increases the risk of suicidal ideation and behavior, especially if untreated.
