Abstract
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a behavior in which a person purposefully injures himself or herself without suicidal intent. NSSI is most common in teens and young adults and has been linked to a number of mental diseases. The risk of future suicide is increased among people who participate in repetitive self-harming practices. Medication and psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, are treatment possibilities. The study conducted a literature review to better understand NSSI among adolescents aged 10 to 29 years. NSSI is motivated both inside and externally. Interventions of NSSI include immediate medical attention for persons suffering from mental illnesses and self-harm. Psychological therapies aim to improve coping skills and emotional regulation. Support and early intervention should be provided by parents, teachers, and healthcare experts.
