Abstract
Incidence Typically 10-30 per 100 000 people commit suicide annually. Deliberate self harm that is non-fatal may be 10-20 times more frequent. Both fatal and non-fatal deliberate self harm constitute considerable public health problems regarding both individual suffering and costs to society.Keywords
