X60-X84: Intentional self-harm
X81: Intentional self-harm by jumping or lying before moving object
Intentional self-harm by jumping or lying before a moving object refers to a set of behaviors in which an individual deliberately places themselves in the path of a vehicle or other moving object with the intention to cause physical harm to themselves. Often correlated with mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, these behaviors can lead to severe physical trauma or fatality. Common physical symptoms post-incident might include broken bones, internal injuries, abrasions, and lacerations, depending on the nature of the moving object and the speed at which it was traveling. The progression of these conditions post-incident mainly lies in the degree of injuries sustained, which can affect multiple body systems including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. It is critical to recognize that these actions are generally a symptom of severe emotional pain and psychological distress.
