A false statement about self-injury (SI) is that it is always intended as a suicide attempt. In reality, many individuals engage in self-injury as a coping mechanism to manage emotional pain, stress, or trauma, rather than as a means to end their life. Additionally, self-injury often serves as a way to express feelings that are otherwise difficult to articulate. Understanding the motivations behind SI is crucial for providing appropriate support and treatment.
