Self-harm (SH) or deliberate self-harm (DSH) includes self-injury (SI) and self-poisoning and is defined as the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue most often done without suicidal intentions. These terms are used in the more recent literature in an attempt to reach a more neutral terminology. The older literature, especially that which predates the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), almost exclusively refers to self-mutilation. The term self-harm is synonymous with the term self-injury.

pašsakropļošanās


Explanation:
Tā kā oriģinālā pieminētā vēnu griešana (cutting her wrists) ir vistiešākā veidā saistīta ar pašnāvības nolūku, tad domāju, ka labi derēs "self-harm" tulkojums no ES Padomes rezolūcijas par jauniešu veselības aizsardzību un labklājību, sk. zemāk.

Example sentence(s):
  • 4. special attention should be paid to young people's mental health, particularly promoting good mental health especially through schools and youth work, and to the prevention of self-harm and suicide
  • 4. sevišķa uzmanība būtu jāpievērš jauniešu garīgajai veselībai, veicinot labu garīgu veselību, īpaši ar skolu un jauniešu darbavietu starpniecību, un novēršot pašsakropļošanos un pašnāvības
