Suggest treatment for self punishment by cutting legs and hitting arms
human
My 15 year old daughter has been cutting her leg and now hitting her arms causing bruising. I don't know what to do. She says she will stop but it has been going on for about 8 months. She doesn't want to see a therapist. She says she is punishing herself when things go wrong.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, she has some depressive symptoms or impulsive disorder. In that case, she needs treatment with antidepressant and psychotherapy. Better to take her to a therapist as soon as possible or plan home visit. In case, you need further advise you can consult me.Thanks
