X60-X84: Intentional self-harm
X80: Intentional self-harm by jumping from a high place
Intentional self-harm by jumping from a high place refers to a deliberate act of injuring oneself by leaping from an elevated location. This group of conditions usually indicates a serious mental or emotional distress, including conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse disorders, or certain personality disorders. The severity of physical injuries are highly variable and directly correlate with the height of the fall, ranging from minor sprains or fractures to severe, life-threatening injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or internal organ damage. Common symptoms can include visible physical injuries, but emotional and behavioral changes, such as social withdrawal, low energy, sleep disturbances, or drastic mood swings may be prevalent signs. The progression of these mental health conditions can vary widely, escalating slowly over time or seemingly sparking abruptly. Primary affected systems largely depend upon the individual case, involving psychological, musculoskeletal, nervous, and internal organ systems.
