What if you know someone who does this or who you think does this..

There are varying types of self injury.
 
The most common is cutting. Making up 72%. Followed by burning at 35%.
 
I would say its usually not something that only happens once
 
Its not something medicine alone will help. If the underlying cause is depression or bipolar or something like that, then yeah meds will help but most cases are a lot more complicated than that and everyone who self injures needs therapy. If for nothing else to learn other ways of coping

Conditions with which self injury is seen:
 
Post traumatic stress disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder
Mood Disorders
Eating Disorders
Dissociative Disorders
Anxiety and panic disorders
