I guess.. I do mean where someone already has a primary diagnosis of depression or PTSD or bipolar, or psychosis, for example. Which is probably more related to us older bods. Self harm in older people I'm thinking tends to be more correlated with an existing mental health difficulty/diagnosis. In younger people it may or may not.
Don't quote me on that though, I may be wrong.
