It seems self harming behaviour has a vast spectrum, if injuries in its domain right from mild scratches to amputation of body parts to enucleation of eyes. Patient with self behaviour almost always has suffered from mental disorders like paranoid schizophrenia or syndromes of self mutilation which may have some religious overtone attached to it.
