https://doi.org/10.30629/2618-6667-2025-23-4-103-116
Abstract
Background: the prevalence of self-harming behavior in modern society is high and is especially relevant for adolescents and young adults. Self-harm is considered as a risk factor for suicide. At the same time, the concept of self-harm remains insufficiently developed, and its relationship with suicidality remains unexplored. Domestic publications on the issue of self-harm are mainly devoted to the psychological aspects of the problem. The aim of review was to analyze existing ideas about self-harming behavior in scientific publications. Material and Method: the publications were searched in the electronic databases MEDLINE, Google Scholar, PubMed for the keywords “self-harm”, “non-suicidal self-harm”, “suicide”; “self-harm”, “non-suicidal self-injury”, “suicide”, “adolescence and youth”. The selection of publications was carried out manually. A descriptive approach was used to summarize the data. Conclusion: the review provides current data on the study of prevalence of self-harm among adolescents and youth, reveals the concept of self-harming behavior and its place in modern classifications of mental disorders, discusses contradictions in the use of the term. The researchs of self-harming and suicidal behavior risk factors are analyzed, including interrelations with mental disorders. A consensus of researchers has been established that non-suicidal self-harm is an important indicator in assessing the risk of depression and suicidality in young peoples. The research directions of assistance and prevention of selfharming and suicidal behavior in adolescence and youth are considered
