[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 196588, member: 1550"] Actually, a mood disorder is a mood disorder. There is a new diagnosis for all mood disorders, including the other common symptoms that tag along with mood problems--anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and sometimes mania--it is called Mood Disorder Spectrum. More than any other diagnosis, other than a child abusing drugs, you see self-harm with this problem. It is also very common in kids who have been sexually abused, but that isn't the only time it happens. Cutting becomes addictive, hard to quit and takes a special sort of therapy. When my daughter cut she told me she did it "To relieve the stress." She quit on her own, but my ex-best friend (may she rest in peace) also was a bad cutter and she called it "addictive." She had a mood disorder (as does my daugher), and both were also sexually assaulted at one time. My friend went to years of therapy for all her issues, including the cutting, and ending up the one who everyone went to for their problems. She really turned her life around and no longer cut herself, had her mood disorder controlled with medications, and had too many friends to count. Getting to the cause of the cutting can be complicated. Good luck :) [URL='http://www.bpkids.org'][/URL] [/QUOTE]
