Insurance companies should cover treatment for self-inflicted teens. They should only cover treatment for the ones who actually want help and not the ones who are just doing this for fun. The ones that want help are the ones who are going to get help.
What is self-destructive behavior? Well self-destructive behavior is a widely used phrase describing a broad set of extreme actions and emotions including self-harm and drug abuse. Self-destructive behavior may be used as a coping mechanism when things get “too much.” Self-destructive behavior may also show itself in an active attempt to drive away others. Some examples of self-destructive behavior are, carving, scratching, branding, biting, and cutting.
Why do teens participate in self-destructive behavior? Studies have suggested that when people who self-injure get emotionally overwhelmed, an act of self-harm brings their levels of psychological and physiological tension and arousal back to a bearable baseline level almost immediately. In other words, they feel a strong uncomfortable emotion, don’t know how to handle it, and know that hurting themselves will reduce the emotional discomfort extremely quickly. Just as it’s suspected that the way the brain uses serotonin may play a role in depression, so scientists think that problems in the serotonin system may predispose some people to self-injury by making them tend to be more aggressive and impulsive than most people.
Why is self-destructive behavior more predominant today than when your parents or grandparents were teens? Well for one, about twenty-five years ago it wasn’t that common of people cutting themselves. It wasn’t as big of a deal then, than it is now. Another thing is the music now days. The music that kids listen to is another reason why.
What can be done to help teens who participate in self-destructive behavior? Schools have counselors, so if you’re a teen who participates in self-behavior, go talk to the school counselor. She or he is the best person you can talk to about this. Communities are great. When there is something wrong with a person of a community, the whole community might ban together and figure something out to help that person.
Insurance companies must cover treatment for self-inflicted teens, because these teens really need help. These teens are doing this because they need help; they are not doing this for attention. Help these teens.
