X75: Intentional self-harm by explosive material

Intentional self-harm by explosive material refers to injuries that an individual inflicts on themselves using explosive substances. This behavior is often associated with severe psychological distress or mental health disorders, such as depression or anxiety. The severity and nature of the injuries can vary widely, depending on the type of explosive material used and the method of infliction. Possible injuries may include burns, lacerations, broken bones, internal injuries, or even loss of life. This form of self-harm could also result in long-term health consequences, varied among the injuries sustained. These effects could hinder the person's quality of life due to persistent pain, impaired physical ability, or visible disfigurement. Besides the physical aspect, the psychological impact could also escalate, leading to further distress or emotional trauma.
