However, there are many ways to prevent this tragedy from happening. With self-harm that involves a physical component. We have to remember that even if we are not intending to cause serious damage, or death. It is always a possibility with even very minor injuries. The likelihood is, of course, usually small. Still, it is a possibility, so we need to be as careful as possible. Typically, if I had a patient coming to me, that was self-harming in this way, such as cutting. I would first begin to try and address the root cause of the behavior. However, I would also give them some wound care and first aid suggestions on how better to care for the cuts. Of course self-harm is an unhealthy behavior, but it is still a coping mechanism. It is very, very unlikely that the person would be able to stop after one visit. This is why it is important to make sure that they know how to properly care for the wounds, and how to avoid possible infections or other issues associated with this type of behavior.
