Self-harm is strongly linked to depression and other disorders,
specifically, borderline personality disorder and eating disorders
such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Self-harm has also been
linked to anxiety and suicide.
 
 Psychotherapy and depression counselling is also used to focus on
triggering thoughts and impulses and to understand how individuals
interact in their environments and relationships.
