TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Self harm, borderline personality syndrome, other mental health issues, misdiagnosis JO - Lakartidningen A1 - Westling, Sofie A1 - Ramklint, Mia SP - e2238 EP - e2238 VL - 113 IS - 49/50 N2 - Self-harm is prevalent in non-psychiatric populations as well as in psychiatric settings, and is common in patients with most psychiatric diagnoses. Persons with self-harm behaviour can be incorrectly diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. There is support for self-harm having an emotion regulating function. Most treatments for self-harm are lengthy and comprehensive and have been developed primarily for persons with borderline personality disorder. Emotion Regulation Group Therapy is an exception, and is given in the form of 14 sessions of group therapy. Persons who self-harm and do not fulfil formal criteria for having a borderline personality disorder are at risk for not receiving effective treatment for self-harm.
