CSP; is it self-harm?!


Question: CSP; is it self-harm!?
I have heard opposing views on this topic so I'd be interested in hearing what people think!.

CSP (compulsive skin picking- a part of the OCD spectrum) do you feel it is a form or type of self-mutilation!?

If so, do you still feel that way even when it's not intentional!? (i!.e!. an unconscious habit)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
it depends!.
It's not self harm unless the purpose is to cause pain to yourself for a release!.

If someone has OCD, they may pick there skin for other reasons!. It may be one of their obsessions!. It doesn't mean that tehy want to hurt themselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It may be an unconscious habit, but it is still self-mutilation!. I put it in the same group as cutting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is a mild formWww@Answer-Health@Com
