Most often, self-harm is nowadays divided into two main categories: suicidal behaviour and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). This division is based on the intent that is underlying the self-harming act.   In the past decades, there has been an ongoing discussion on the status of self-harm within our diagnostic classifications. For a long time, self-harm had only been considered a symptom of a few distinct disorders (e.g. depression or borderline personality disorder). In contrast, researchers had made an attempt to include both types of self-harm as independent diagnostic entities--nonsuicidal self-injury disorder and suicidal behaviour disorder--into the DSM-5 [2], which finally led to an inclusion in section 3 as diagnostic categories that warrant more research.
