Dr. Rachel: Cutting and self-harm awareness

Injury on purpose is called self-harm.

Cutting is not a suicide attempt according to Dr.Rachel.

Some people self-harm in other ways other than cutting.

At the age of 14, self-harm typically starts for people until adulthood.

Wrists, arms, inner thighs, and stomachs are the most common area of the body.

Cutting is a hard topic to approach.
