• Self-harm — A destructive act, behavior, or impulse directed consciously or unconsciously by an individual against their own person, resulting in bodily injuries, self-mutilation, or suicide attempts. In immunology, the term metaphorically describes the pathological process where the immune system erroneously attacks the body's own healthy tissues (autoimmunity).
• Self-mutilation — The act, process, or pathological conduct whereby an individual inflicts physical injuries, amputations, or severe wounds upon their own body, resulting from intense psychological suffering or an underlying psychiatric condition. In modern clinical nosology, self-mutilation is classified as a critical symptom of severe emotional dysregulation, serving as a major diagnostic indicator for conditions such as borderline personality disorder or major depressive episodes.
