Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The treatment of anxiety and depression is often accomplished with use of medications and psychotherapy. As you might be aware no two patients are similar and often complete assessment is required before starting the treatment. In my opinion there is need to get evaluated for borderline personality disorder before thinking whether it is depression or anxiety. The presence of self harming behaviour along with amotivation indicates that you have cluster B personality disorder such as borderline personality disorder. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
