Abstract

Deliberate Self-Harm (DSH) is interpreted as an action of self-injury without an aim to die. The worldwide statistics reveals that DSH is a prevalent issue; however, the masses have not recognized it as an alarming sign yet. To be specific, Pakistan is one of those middle-income countries where DSH is common. The article aims to give a deeper understanding about deliberate self-harm using 'Experiential Avoidance Model' by Chapman, Gratz and Brown (2006). In addition, it provides recommendations and management at the government and individual level to get control over this silent killer.
