Overview

Observational analysis finds depressive and anxiety symptoms significantly predict self-harming behaviour in adolescents, implying a need for preventive measures.

Key Points

  • Self-harming behaviour in adolescents correlates significantly with depressive and anxiety symptoms.
  • Linear regression analysis showed depressive symptoms can predict self-harming behaviour with R2DS=0.495.
  • The study analyzed 203 adolescents aged 15 to 19, with 58.6% being girls, highlighting a balanced representation.
  • Understanding mental health's role in self-harm may enable targeted prevention strategies to address this growing issue.
