what causes self mutilation?


Question:
I've seen several questions from people who do it.

Answers:
they are board
and have sharp things around them, so
It's a disease, or rather a chemichal imbalance in the brain.
I Once worked for a Company who had a customer who cut her fingers off, she seemed to get a kick out of it, each time She came into the office to make a payment she had one less finger and she was proud of it and would tell everyone she gets a kick out of cutting her fingers off.

Eventually she had no fingers left and stopped coming to the office to pay her bill, someone else came to pay it, I can only imagine what other parts of her anatomy she began cutting off after that, even if she were able to handle a knife without any fingers at all.

Self mutilation is definatly not normal and anyone doing it should seek professional treatment.
Your question is a Little vague. The cause is an unbalanced mind with a compulsion to attract
attention or sympathy at any price. There are no exact sources of explanation, that I know, on what specifically motivates certain types of individual to self mutilation or flagellation. It could also be a form of masochism (the enjoyment of pain), an aberration that sometimes has sexual overtones.
