Overview
Self-harm includes all self-poisoning or injury regardless of intention. Self-harm is common, with 25.7%of women and 9.7%of men aged 16–24 reportingthatthey have self-harmed previously.1 Overall, the prevalence is estimated to be 0.5% across all age groups. The risk of suicideis 49×greater over a 12-month period if an individual has self-harmed, as compared with the rest of the population.2 It is therefore essential to carefullyandcompassionatelyassessthecomplexissuesthatliebehindself-harmandto ensurethataplanisputinplacetotryandavoidmorbidityandmortality.

Assessrisktophysicalhealth Assessemotionalandmentalstate Considerusingthe‘AustralianMentalHealthTriageScale’(see‘Furtherreading’) Conductapreliminarypsychosocialassessment,toinclude:
Mentalcapacity Willingnesstoremainforfurtherpsychosocialassessment Levelofdistress
Evidenceofmentalillness Askthepatientiftheywouldprefertobeassessedbyamaleorfemaledoctor,ifitispossibleto complywiththeirrequest Ifthepatientneedstowaitfortreatment,provideaquietspace,withsupervisiontoensuresafety.
History
The patient may be able to provide a history butif not, ask a collateral witness and/or paramedic.
Inparticular,askaboutthefollowing:
Natureandtimingofoverdoseorinjuries Whetheritwasplannedorspontaneous Substances/medicationsfoundatthescene Informationaboutthehomeenvironment Socialandfamilysupportnetwork Historyleadingtoself-harm Initialemotionalstateandlevelofdistress Howthepatientfeelsnow Previousinteractionswiththementalhealthteam Theriskoffurtherself-harmorsuicide.
LGBTQ+peopleareatahigherriskofself-harmcomparedtotherestofthepopulation.3Be awareoftheneedtousetheperson’spreferredpronouns.
Examination
Afullpsychosocialassessmentshouldbecompleted,usuallybyaspecialistmentalhealth liaison professional (Box 44.1). Ideally this should be held with the patient alone to facilitateconfidentiality,andincasethereareissueswithcarersthatthepatientwishesto discuss.
The psychosocial assessment should take place in parallel with medical treatment if
needed(aslongasthepatientisinafitconditiontobeinterviewed).
Ensure that all of the assessment is fully documented and that a copy is sent to the
https://t.me/med1917
patient’sGP.
Box44.1Mentalhealthliaisonteams
Most general hospitals have mental health liaison teams which are often staffed by experiencedmentalhealthnursesandsocialworkerswithsomepsychiatryinput.They carryoutpsychosocialassessmentsforpatientspresentingwithself-harm.
Gather information and perform a thorough triage before referring to the mental
healthliaisonteam.
Investigations
In the event of overdose, follow recommendations from TOXBASE and the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) regarding what samples to collect (for link see
‘Furtherreading’).
Measureplasmaparacetamol concentrations (Box44.2)inallpatientswithconfirmed or suspected paracetamol overdose or opioid poisoning, as well as in an unconscious, collapsedpatientwheredrugoverdoseispossible.
Box44.2Paracetamollevels
Paracetamollevelstaken4–15hoursafteringestioncanbeusedtoassessriskandguide treatment,usingatreatmentgraphwhichisavailablefromTOXBASEortheBNF.
Management
Acutemanagement
AssessthepatientusinganABCDEapproach.
For the treatment of poisoning, follow the guidance outlined in TOXBASE. General principlesofthetreatmentofcommonpoisonsareoutlinedinTable44.1.
Alwaysconsiderthepossibilityofamixedoverdose.
Consider oral activated charcoal treatment for those who present within 2 hours of overdose,areconscious,haveaprotectedairway,andareatriskofsignificantharmfrom poisoning(butcheckifalreadygivenbyparamedics/pre-hospital).
SeeTable44.1andBox44.3regardingtheuseofflumazenilornaloxone.

Agent Managementandconsiderations
Paracetamol IVacetylcysteine:
Cancauseanaphylactoidreactions
Benzodiazepines Flumazenil(Box44.3):
Avoid if there is an ↑ risk of seizures, e.g. ingested proconvulsant such as tricyclic antidepressantorhistoryofepilepsyordependenceonbenzodiazepines Give ifthe patient can protect their airway but there is respiratory depressionwhich, if left untreated,willlikelyrequireinvasiveventilation May be given only by clinicians who have been trained in its use and if resuscitation equipmentisavailable
Opioids Naloxone(Box44.3):
Useifimpairedconsciousnessorrespiratorydepression,e.g.respiratoryrate≤8 Useminimumeffectivedosetoreverserespiratorydepression AnIVinfusionmayberequired
Box44.3Usingflumazenilornaloxone
When using flumazenil or naloxone, be prepared to deal with prompt withdrawal includingagitation,aggression,andviolence.Patientswillalsorequireclosemonitoring for re-sedation as the effect of the antidotes wears off. In particular, monitor the respiratoryrateandoxygensaturation.
Treatmentafterstabilization
Physicalhealth
Ensurethatthepatientisstablefromaphysicalhealthperspective.Admitformonitoring andconsidertheneedforfurthertreatmentofthephysicalconsequencesofself-harm.
MentalHealthAct
Assess if the patient continues to be a danger to themselves or others. If there are

concerns, they should be assessed for sectioning under the Mental Health Act (see
‘Furtherreading’).
Copingstrategies
Harm minimization strategies are not an option for peoplewho repeatedlyself-harm as there are no safe limits. If the patient is usually prescribed long-term medications, consider prescribing the least dangerous option and consider prescribing a reduced quantityoftablets,e.g.weeklyorevendailydispensing.Thisstrategymayalsoneedtobe extended to relatives who live in the same home and are prescribed long-term medications.
Considerdiscussingalternativecopingstrategiesforpeoplewhorepeatedlyself-injure, e.g. methadone in heroin addiction, information about how to clean wounds. Consider providinginformationondealingwithscarring,ifappropriate.Thepatientmayrequirea short admission, particularly if a full assessment has not been possible due to patient distressorintoxication,orifthehomeenvironmentisunsafe.
Referralforfurtherassessmentortreatment
ItisessentialtofindoutifthepatienthasaResponsibleClinicianasoftenthesepatients’ circumstancesarecomplex.Theycanbechallengingtomanageduetotherisktheypose to themselves but there may already be a care plan in place which will help guide decision-making.Ifindoubt,discusswithaseniormemberofstaff.
The need for referralwillbe based on the psychosocialassessment, with the aim of addressing the underlying problems or mental disorder rather than just addressing the self-harmingbehaviour.
Longer-term care plans are made by adult mental health services, liaison psychiatry, CAMHS,orintellectualdisabilityservices.Theyaimto:
Reduceself-harm Reducerisksarisingfromself-harm Reduceorstopotherriskbehaviours Improvesocialoroccupationalfunctioning Improvequalityoflife Treattheassociatedmentaldisorder.
Careplans should be multidisciplinary, collaborative, and reviewed at regular intervals. Theyshouldincludeacrisisplansothatthepatientisabletoobtainhelpintheeventthat otherstrategieshavefailed.
Consideroffering3–12sessions of structured psychologicaltherapywiththespecific aimofreducingself-harm.Thisshouldbetailoredtoindividualneedsandcouldinclude CBT,psychodynamic,orproblem-solvingelements.
https://t.me/med1917
Donotofferdrugtreatmentspecificallytoreduceself-harm.However,drugtreatment may be appropriate to treat associated mental disorders. Consider the toxicity of prescribed drugs in overdose (e.g. SSRIs are less toxic than other antidepressants; see
Chapter38).
Specialconsiderations
Childrenandyoungpeople(<16years)
Allunder 16sshouldbeassessedin thepaediatricsectionof theemergencydepartment. Theyshouldbeadmittedtoapaediatricwardovernightandfullyassessedthefollowing daybytheCAMHSteam.
It is necessary to obtain consent from the parent or legally responsible adult before carryingoutanassessment.Anunderstandingisrequiredoftheissuesrelatingtocapacity andconsentinthisagegroup.
Learningdisability
Consideranyissuesof capacityand consent andincludeaparent orlegallyresponsible adult in the decision-making process. If admission is necessary, then liaise with and arrangearapidreviewbythelearningdisabilityteam.
Olderpeople(>65years)
Thereisahigherriskofself-harmandsuicideinthisagegroup,andallactsofself-harm shouldberegardedasevidenceofsuicidalintentuntilprovenotherwise.
