Cutters -     Self Injury
Hello my 18 year old daughter was admitted into a hospital for cutting get arm. She is being labeled as suicidal when she clearly advised that she was not trying to kill her self, she was angry and cut her self instead hurt others. My question is why is she labeled as suicide? I'm concern for my child and want her to receive the best treatment to help her.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I am afraid that is the practice now a days. Clinically it is correct. Once she did it out of rage. There is no surety that she shall not do it again. Out of suspicion labeling happens. There is nothing to worry. You have to question the labelling only when she is administered medicines for mental illness. Simple rage and absurd behavior after rage amounts to be aggression and aggressive behavior clinically. You should take her to a psychological counselor.

Or you can follow these steps:

1. Teach her relaxation techniques
2. Breathing technique can cure rage
3. She is a teen ager. They think they are mature where as they are not. Treat them as if they are adults and do not argue.

For more psychotherapy techniques, You can post a direct question to me in this website. Include every detail as much as you can. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques to control your condition. I am sure that the techniques should be a success.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
