Abstract

Self-harm refers to an intentional act of self-poisoning or self-injury, irrespective of motivation. It becomes more common after age 12, usually reaches its peak in late adolescence and young adulthood, and resolves spontaneously afterwards. The rate of self-harm in adolescents varies between countries, approximately around 10% in self-report school-based surveys. Diathesis-stress model is used to explain the theoretical foundation of the risk factors to self-harm. Important risk factors include socio-demographic factors, environmental factors and psychological factors. With non-suicidal self-injury disorder (NSSID) being a condition for further study in DSM-5, further studies pertaining to its clinical practice are needed.
