Understanding Adolescent Self-Harm: Dr. Pervin's Insights on Causes & Solutions

Adolescence is a turbulent phase, filled with emotional challenges and experiences that can sometimes lead to self-harm behaviors. In this insightful video, Dr. Pervin, Child Psychologist at NH SRCC Children’s Hospital, Mumbai, breaks down the crucial distinction between suicidal behaviors and self-harm in adolescents. While self-harm, also known as non-suicidal self-injury, is common in early adolescents, its intent is not to end life but rather to cope with emotional pain. Dr. Pervin discusses the different forms of self-harm, such as cutting, burning, skin scraping, and head banging, and highlights the underlying reasons behind these behaviors, including numbness, a need for control, and a cry for help. She provides expert advice on the do's and don’ts of parenting when faced with an adolescent engaging in self-harm, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the child’s pain and offering alternative coping mechanisms. Dr. Pervin also explains when professional consultation is necessary and the role of mental health experts—whether psychiatrists or counselors—in helping adolescents heal from self-harm behaviors. Learn valuable insights on how to understand, support, and guide your child through this difficult period.
