Episode 26: Self-Injurious Behavior
May 16th, 2008 by depressedteens
On this week’s show, we talk about the prevalent problem of self-injurious behavior. Cutting, scratching, burning, pulling out hair, etc, are all ways of harming one’s self to relieve tension and recent research suggests that it’s more common than once believed to be. Also, best-selling author Marya Hornbacher stops by to discuss her new book, Madness: A Life, a memoir about her life growing up with bipolar disorder.

I would just like to thank you for this podcast. Thank you for talking about it. Thank you for trying to help. We don’t talk about me and my sister being Bipolar in my family. They just throw drugs at us and send us to therapy. I have never really taken the steps to find out more about being Bipolar and then I found your podcast. It’s been diffcult, as anyone knows. I started showing signs at 12, but no one noticed until I was 16.
Now, when ever I’m depressed, I listen to this podcast, and I don’t feel so alone. It’s nice to have advice to listen to from people who understand.
Thank you so very, very much
