X60-X84: Intentional self-harm
X84: Intentional self-harm by unspecified means
Intentional self-harm refers to a group of conditions where an individual deliberately causes harm to themselves by various means, which are not specified under the particular code of X84. The causes behind these actions often stem from emotional distress or mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or borderline personality disorder. Symptoms tied to self-harm may include noticeable cuts, burns or bruises, or behaviors such as isolation, emotional instability, and impulsive actions. Disease progression varies vastly on an individual basis; however, conditions can worsen without professional mental health intervention. These actions affect not only physical well-being but can also have extensive impact on mental health, often indicating profound emotional distress or deep-seated psychological issues. The condition requires immediate attention from mental health professionals who can provide the necessary treatments and support networks.
