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 reportingthatthey have
self-harmed previously.1 Overall, the prevalence is estimated to be 0.5% across all age
groups. The risk of suicideis 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
carefullyandcompassionatelyassessthecomplexissuesthatliebehindself-harmandto

Gather information and perform a thorough triage before referring to the mental

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
‘Furtherreading’).

concerns, they should be assessed for sectioning under the Mental Health Act (see
‘Furtherreading’).
Copingstrategies
Harm minimization strategies are not an option for peoplewho repeatedlyself-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
quantityoftablets,e.g.weeklyorevendailydispensing.Thisstrategymayalsoneedtobe
extended to relatives who live in the same home and are prescribed long-term
medications.
Considerdiscussingalternativecopingstrategiesforpeoplewhorepeatedlyself-injure,

The need for referralwillbe based on the psychosocialassessment, with the aim of
addressing the underlying problems or mental disorder rather than just addressing the
self-harmingbehaviour.
