Over 60,000 young individuals visit UK emergency departments (EDs) annually for self-harm. Those with anxiety or depression show significantly higher self-harm incidence rates.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Psychiatry
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Self-harm among young people is a significant public health concern in the UK.
  • Emergency departments (EDs) are key points of contact for individuals who self-harm.
  • Prevalence varies significantly based on mental health conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the annual incidence of self-harm presentations to UK emergency departments among younger people.
  • To investigate the association between specific mental health disorders (anxiety, depression) and the incidence of self-harm in adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from UK emergency department attendances.
  • Calculation of incidence rates for self-harm presentations in the younger population.

  • Stratification of incidence rates based on the presence of diagnosed anxiety and depression disorders.

    • Main Results:

    • More than 60,000 younger people present to UK EDs each year due to self-harm.
    • The incidence of self-harm among individuals aged 11-15 is 2%.
    • This incidence increases to 9% for those with anxiety disorders and 19% for those with depression.

    Conclusions:

    • Young people with anxiety and depression experience substantially higher rates of self-harm.
    • Targeted interventions and support for mental health in youth are crucial for reducing self-harm.
    • Enhanced mental health screening and support in ED settings may be warranted for this population.
