Answers:

I think you did the right thing, because you cared for your friend and wanted to help her.

Self-harming is not easy to treat because it is mainly brought about by a form of depression, that needs to be treated.

Most depressed teenagers have hypoglycemia, and one of its symptoms are depression and anxiety or uncontrollable emotions.

One way of testing for hypoglycemia is completing the NBI shown below.

If found to be positive - by a high score - it may pay to go on a hypoglycemic diet.

The best advice is for the person to be referred to a Nutritional Doctor or a Clinical Nutritionist.
