Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Sciences

Background:

  • Autodestructive behavior is a growing concern across medical fields.
  • This review focuses on autodestructive behavior, excluding psychotic, substance-induced, or organic brain disorders.
  • It provides a conceptual overview, epidemiology, and manifestation forms of autodestructive behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey the literature on autodestructive behavior.
  • To examine the epidemiology and manifestations of autodestructive behavior.
  • To highlight the need for standardized diagnostic criteria.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted in Medline, Psycinfo, and Psyndex.

  • The search covered the period from 1977 to 2003.

    • Main Results:

    • Prevalence rates for autodestructive behavior range from 0.032% to 9.36%.
    • The female-to-male ratio is 2:1, with an average age of 31.5 years.
    • Codiagnoses, including personality and dependence disorders or substance misuse, are common.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardized survey instruments are needed to address the heterogeneity of autodestructive behavior.
    • Development of a clear nomenclature and operational diagnostic criteria is essential.
    • This will improve the accurate diagnosis and management of autodestructive behaviors.
