Putative Mechanisms of the Addictive Hypothesis of Self-Harming Behaviors The addiction to self-harming behaviors can be explained either by neurobiological or psychological mechanisms. Figure 2. Therapeutic Implications The addictive model of self-harming might have an important impact in the way we treat repetitive self-harming behaviors, and help in reducing the economic cost associated with them.

When two or more mental health or substance abuse disorders occur simultaneously it is known as co-occurring disorders, formerly referred to as dual diagnosis. Cutting is actually a form of addiction as many teenagers crave the release that self-harm behaviors elicit. Studies have shown that it can be an outlet for an escape allowing teens to release negative feelings of anger, frustration, sadness and stress however once this act is over, teenager crave more, just like an addictive drug.
Studies have shown that approximately nine percent of teenagers who engage in self-harming behaviors also abuse drugs and alcohol. Teenage abuse drugs and alcohol for similar reasons they engage in self-harm behavior; to alleviate stress and numb the pain and emotions they are experiencing. Marijuana and nonmedical prescription drugs are the most commonly abuse illicit substances among teenagers with alcohol and tobacco being the most commonly abused substances overall.
Drugs and alcohol are known to slow reaction times, increase impulsivity and disrupt the connections in nerve endings potentially resulting in worsening injuries. For example, individual who cut may cut too deep under the influence of drugs or alcohol resulting in serious wounds or too much blood loss. In order to learn to give up self-injury behavior, individuals need to substitute other healthy behaviors that can be equally soothing and provide a similar emotional release.
Similar to substance abuse, the underlying reason of why there is an addiction needs to be addressed in order for the unhealthy compulsive behavior to stop. Self-injurers can use a variety of methods to hurt themselves. Being angry can cause an urge to self-injure. Many people self-harm only a couple of times then end it, but it can become a long-term behavior for others. Self-harm is when people deliberately hurt themselves, while suicide comes with the intent to stop the pain by dying.
Self- mutilating is usually seen as a release for suffering or is causing the person to suffer further. The British Medical Journal declared that bruising at Self-harm, also known as self-mutilation, is described as a self-inflicted and intentional injury to body tissue that causes discomfort, bruising, or bleeding without any suicidal intent or socially acceptable purposes tattooing or body piercing.
Self-harm Episodes usually difficult to rate as, mostly, they are neither reported nor treated. Self-mutilating behaviour is often wrongly diagnosed as attempts of suicide when, really, the intent was not meant to be disastrous. Substance abuse and self-harm are incredibly intertwined.
People that struggle with mental disorders like but are not limited to eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. Substance abuse leads to self-harm. Being influenced by substances can also lead to self-injury being more than planned. There is neither one simple nor one inherent cause for an individual to self-harm; instead, there is a combination of several other factors that lead to such behavior.
Self-harm has been attributed to stimulant drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However, the process may be different in people who suffer from addiction. Stimulants can promote self-harm both during and after use. Stimuli may trigger hallucinations, delusional thought, and anxiety while intoxicated. These symptoms start a significant detachment from reality.
When service is discontinued, the resulting crash can cause extreme depression, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts, and a desire to harm oneself. Self-harm is very common than people know, but it takes place in private, and the scars are concealed under clothes.
The high numbers are partly due to the stresses of puberty and school. Women are thought to be at greater risk, which may be caused by gender burden that encourage women to keep their misery, indignation, and frustration inside. On the other hand, people find it more humane to reveal it outwardly. Extreme feelings of sadness, anxiety, rage, and indignation can contribute to self-mutilation, leaving long-term and permanent marks.
Self-mutilation is usually a very irrational and private act.
